A nearby site that records sunshine is showing a UV index of 7 at the moment near me! (Davis VP2 sensors) I was a bit suspicious so did a google and found this site;
http://www.temis.nl/uvradiation/UVI/uvief0_e.gif
suggesting a index of near 7 today.
The links posted by ARW WeatherMan on the previous page also show 'high to very high' UV index colors over the south of the country, and the other one a max of 6.8 for my location today.
If these are right, so much for the Met Office predicted index of 3 today! I used to think 7 or 8 was the highest we got in the summer, but increasingly have been thinking we sometimes could get a 9-10 UV index if we can get 7 now?
Personally I don't tan so am not all that interested in sitting out in the sun, but I like to follow UV indexes like many weather parameters and like to feel strong sun occasionally.
Met Office not the best for UV's, UV awareness I find pretty accurate and it takes into account pollution levels and altitude, I suppose it could've been a UV 6 today but the atmosphere must of been very clear for that and I think UV-9 and certainly UV10 might be beyond anywhere above 47N apart from on high mountains.

Sun feels quite strong today, making it feel o.k in the sun, tomorrow looks nice too glad to see the sun finally getting some time in the limelight.

It was the last proper nationwide good summer month with high pressure making frequent visits to the UK. Since then July 2011 and August 2012 were also good but July 2010 was rather disappointingly dull.
July 2011 was awful here, never again!
-
Still snowing lightly, and the endless winter goes on.
-
Got quite heavy for a little while here, no sticking but that's no surprise.
-
These last few weeks have been painful weatherwise to deal with but it is snowing a little outside, at least it's something.
-
The Sun may be harmful and dangerous but it is very human to want to power of the sun as an energy source, it is after all one of the big factors that keeps life therefore it is natural to want it's UV radiation, providing precautions are taken, shame I have quite pale skin but can't get enough of a hot, intense sun.

2002,2007,2008 (apart from the april snow event), 2011, 2012 were very tedious and forgettable also.
-
Snowing here a bit, but even that has gotten tedious now, I think warm/hot weather is the only weather I can never get bored of, oh and 2CM+ snowfalls, they are always enjoyable.
-
I can't hear anything up the road here in Benny HillWhere's Benny Hill, is that in Burgess Hill area?
-
Thought I just heard a rumble of thunder around here and the sky has gone dark, probably just planes though because thunderstorms don't exist anymore.
-
-1.9C here last night with a frost this morning, mostly sunny and milder now.
-
0.1C, would be good to get a march frost and further compact the piles of snow left so going in the right direction.
-
Much milder today as expected, snow mostly thawed but holding up well in areas where it's compacted and in Worthing there was actually more.
-
Northern France or Northern Canada?
-
I know it falls outside of our region but has anyone here been following how this event panned out in The Channel Islands as I have ?
Some quite stunning photo's from there as well. Oppo website I know but hey, we're are all in this together right
Thanks for the link, Channel Islands and Northern France got slammed.
-
Roads in the sun clear now, but refreeze could cause problems tonight, and shady areas still well covered, temperature 2C now though.
-
Slight thaw in the sun now but holding well in the shade and it's 0.9C.
-
Incredibly it's STILL snowing here in Mile Oak (3 miles West of Brighton) , not heavily though, just a few flakes blowing around in the wind.
Some ginormous drifts up in the hills, waist deep in places , met some dude who had been camping out last night up there....and we think we're nutters !!
Winter really did have a sting in it's tail down here !
Winters have definitely changed in the few 4-5 years, for the snowier, this is yet another memorable event in the period.
-
Just reading some of the French Infoclimat forums in the Nord-Ouest/Nord-Est, 25-50CMS widespread, incredible.
-
Sun is out now, ok the snow will start to melt in places but there is alot of it to melt and it's going nowhere in shady areas, weirdly it's still snowing at the same time.
-
Just Measured, about 8-13CMS outside, with 11CM on the grass, very impressive for March especially when I remember the days of the mid/late 90s and 2000s when 5CM was impressive in January, might head out later to measure drifts as well.
-
A day off college I think looks likely, although it's still open the trains are showing to be only delayed but alot of them get cancelled after that, I may be able to make it in but it's the getting back which is the problem as all London Victoria trains are cancelled and Brighton trains are also. still snowing here and a frigid -1.3C still.
-
Still snowing, looks like a little more has deposited overnight, either way, this event won't be forgotten, deepest snow since Early December 2010.
I can't hear anything up the road here in Benny Hill
