I do not know if this was suggested before but the ability to average UV readings to 10 minutes would be great.
First because it seems to be the correct reporting procedure and second because it would help dilute the absurd spikes reported by Fine Offset stations.
Thanks.

Producing a 10-minute average for UV probably wouldn't be too hard, and worth doing if that's how it's supposed to be reported.

Re: Feature suggestion: UV 10 minutes average option
Yes. According to UN best practices (p.6):
"REPORTING UVI VALUES
"(...) Where continuous observations are available, a 5–10 minute average is useful to display short-term changes.
The UVI should be presented as a single value rounded to the nearest whole number."
