Chilton managed 5.6 on 3rd and 4th September (Camborne bagged a 6 both days)

Chilton an impressive 5.5 on 14th but the last 4s were on 21st, 23rd and 24th (all 4.0)

1.3 in Reading and expect it to grow steadily over the next few weeks. I understand this is not a pop thread but occasionally high UV events occur especially in spring and early summer and I want to track and share.

Re-found this. Copied from my replacement thread which I will close. Apologies.

Reading publishing again. 1.4 yesterday best since 24th November.

Hopefully it keeps going this year, it's obviously a publishing issue rather than recording, as once back it generally shows the old data.

Looking back at last year (which wasn't great for sun/UV) the 1st 2 was mid-Feb and then a 3 pretty much a month later.

Hoping for some sunshine today. With angle at solar noon edging towards 25° we could get to the top end of band one.

Reading and Chilton 1.8 for today and yesterday and Camborne hit 2 today.

---

Reading reaches 2 for second day. Chilton also today.

Banger of a day, intense sunshine.
Reading 2.1 Chilton near 2.2

MetO predicting a 5 for S Hampshire & Dorset on Sunday.

Much though I dislike this time of year (much prefer watching the numbers tick down instead of up), there's a 5 forecast IMBY tomorrow:

rhttps://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/u10skvs08#?date=2024-04-06&forecastChoice=weather  

Remember though the MetO rounds up, and does so from 0.1 - so that 5 could be anywhere from 4.1 to 5.0 should it come off!

A good point- but 4.1 would be nice enough- a Vit D anti-depressant without blisters!

I note Camborne has had 4+ on 22nd and 24th March (4.2 tops).
The glorious late March of 2012 of course saw three 4+ readings even in Reading, with 4.3 on 28th.

Still not as notable as the 7.6 on May 9th before the good summer of 2018 - the earliest top reading annually I can see.

Reading last 3 days including today: 4.8  4.9  4.8

---

Whoops- just seen Camborne at 5.9 today and an impressive 6.1 yesterday. Factor really notches up after the end of March. Solar incidence stil increasing by 0.4° daily.

---

I’m over in Ibiza at the moment and presumed we were about 6 here but it must be way higher then… looks like it was a 8 here - back to the UK tomorrow so one last morning to top up the D.

---

👍 Bet you're feeling good TDF

---

Reading's first 5 on 19th.

---

UV index forecasts are now on the TWO 16 day forecasts for the first 5 days. Just expand the day to see the maximum value:

I'll try and add UV into the UKV based hourly forecasts soon if I've got enough data left:
