Interesting to see GFS ekes out a UV 7 here on Sunday... that's got to be very unusual, 2 months out from the solstice!

Some places in the south are forecast a 7 on the MetO site today. That is high for this late in the month.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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:

At Winchester just a 7 still.
I note that in Reading they've so far recorded just a 4 but 6.2 at Chilton.
