Actually maxed at 3.0 after all today in Reading- so, today is the annual leader so far.

No haar here, har har!

2.8 and barely any sun. Top stuff!

3.2 today; best goes again. I'm not surprised, mind- over 16C and bright sunshine at 12.

1.6 today. No need to describe the weather.

2.3 today.

2.2 today

BW ....how do you know the figure please? 

There's a link at the start of this thread; this is the reading for Reading- the resolution of reliable recording stations isn't as dense as for usual met. data (temperature etc). We here in the Itchen Valley are some way south of Reading, and Portsmouth is even further south, but more significantly, coastal; also at lower altitude so the level will be affected both ways, I suggest, but in general I would expect Portsmouth to have a higher UV (slightly) if conditions are similar.

2.7 today- in glimmers of sun. Things are really UV-ing up now.

Thank you B W , thats great very interesting, surprised the values in Gib/Cyprus still relatively low though. Yes lee on solent is my location, but formerly Sandown Isle of Wight, so I guess higher UV still? 

Thanks again 

I would think so PFCScotty; the S. Coast IOW resorts often hold the sunniest UK totals but also that few extra miles south could add to the tenths! Lumi on this thread mentioned in LA there's a <2 forecast because of the weather forecast; I'm not sure what's happening in Gib or Cyprus right now.

Hi Lumi; I hope you made the most of the 8; you should post a new rogue's gallery shot after that- serious browning.

I'm amazed at your latitude, even under rain, only 1+ is forecast for tomorrow. Very low cloud, no doubt. Thunder maybe?

1.9 in Reading today. Anyone fancy an early-date 4 for Reading? April 5th maybe?

The UV 4 is back on this morning for Saturday..

2.5 today. Showers too.

I actually didn't get out in it more than 10 minutes, so the bronzing will have to wait.  A staggering 0.5 UV level currently under thick cloud and light rain. No thunder as yet, but I'm hopeful for some tomorrow following the frontal rain and the cold air aloft.  7.16 forecast tomorrow so I should expect some good sunny spells to help initiate convection.

2.9 yesterday.

2.1 today.

Sorry about the delay.

1.8 today, but this was in Reading, and it was cloudier in the north of our region. Definitely higher here with some smashing pm sunshine.

I've just noticed that a UV of 4 is forecast for tomorrow! Sun up!

The stunning late March of 2012 saw 3 days of UV 4, peaking at 4.3 on 28th. We've currently got 3 consecutive days forecast as such- will be interesting if it comes off, and how high it goes. Reached 2 before 10am this morning and the line has been steep and constant.

Only 3.2 in Reading- and the graph line is dropping quickly post-M; but I can also see a lot of high cloud to the N. Maybe tomorrow- the sun being as high as in mid-September.

Seemed to peak at around 3.4 today.

3.2 today; a slightly milkier sky due to higher RH- as born out by the dew on all my car windows at dawn, despite a higher starting temperature than yesterday.
