Hi Susan, according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_index), it looks like the UVI is the weighted UV radiation divided by 25 mW/m2 which would be, in terms of uW/cm2 , "divide by 250", I think. This should yield a number between 0 and roughly 12. Does it? Bob On Mon

Hello Bob, I found the same information (in answer to my Q3) and I've used that. The HP1000 (and clones) provide different information in various records: form the NOWRECORD (the current observation data) it provides the UVI directly, but the HISTORY_DATA record has the UV value but in uW/cm^2.
