"Unusual levels of UV are also being recorded in the UK at the moment - with the strength of the UV in some spots being as high as that in Cyprus and Gibraltar."
Can anybody shed any light (ouch) on this ? It makes no sense to me.

I recorded a UV of 7.7 for yesterday (18th) and 7.8 for the day before.

These are nothing out of the ordinary for mid to late June given the
current 'atmospheric' set up. In tropical maritime air at this time of
year I can record UV above 9.0. My record is 10.

Later Wednesday and Thursday might see the UV climb towards 9.0 or
above. My highest UV so far this year was on the 12th June with 8.4.
