Default Allegedly unusual levels of UV

From the Telegraph today:

"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.

Dry air is part of the cause but chiefly I think that it’s probably chiefly due to low ozone, as Tudor mentions: a deep troposphere and thus high tropopause are squeezing and thinning out the stratospheric ozone layer..


The 10C / 50F nonsense caught my eye as well. I don't think that we'll ever see the end of that error.
