Default [WR] 14th July - Extreme UV in the South West?

According to the UV sensor on my Davis VP2+, the UV Index reached 10.0
today. This is a whole unit above anything I have recorded before.

I'm a little bit sceptical about these figures but the sensor seems to
be OK and when I borrowed a hand-held UV monitor recently, they agreed fine.

The weather station at St Martin's on the Isles of Scilly recorded 9.7
today and they did have more cloud.

I only record 9.0 as a maximum once or twice a year so to record 10.0
was quite a shock!

The UV levels this year seem to be far higher than last year, why I do
not know.
