UV sensor a little flakey
It seems all the recent wet weather has played havoc with our UV sensor; it is not going down to zero after sunset.
I've seen this before after cleaning the sensor with water; it sometimes takes several weeks to recover.
The folks at Davis recommends cleaning with ethyl alcohol rather than water. Of course, that doesn't help much when it rains heavily.
(I have no idea where to buy ethyl alcohol -- a liquor store? :-)

It appears that the UV sensor has fully recovered. It is once again registering zero at night...
