Hi there, I checked my Tempest today as well, it reported a UV Index of 25…! I was checking the forum for this same issue…I am in Boise, Idaho. Looks to be back at 6 now, nice clear sky today here! Mike
That is the Tempest serial number, your station number is 18150. But that is an understandable mix up given how close to the Sun you must be for those values.
What is the max UV reading we should expect to receive? Mine spiked briefly to 13.1 today. This happened right around noon just after the fogged burned off. Thanks.
Thanks Eric! Only have seen this in the last 2-3 days actually. I had to do a complete reset last week when the Tempest dropped offline, though if it happens again, I shouldn’t have to completely reset it. Still a really neat system, just got some bugs to work out…!
My SKY is currently at UV 8, but it’s past 4:30 pm and the sun is westerly and on an angle. I’m in Northern Ontario and the UV shouldn’t be that high at this time of day.
Wondering if there a misreading if the sun comes from an angle… Just wondering…
