UV Index
UV Index
The UV index is a measure of the strength of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
The index ranges from 0 to 11+, with higher values indicating a greater risk of skin damage and increased risk of skin cancer.
UV index values vary around the world, depending on factors such as latitude, altitude, cloud cover, and ozone levels.
Generally, UV index values tend to be higher near the equator and at higher elevations.
It's important to check the UV index for your location before heading outside. The UV index can change throughout the day, depending on factors such as cloud cover and time of day.
To check the UV index for your location, you can either find your city in the list below or use the search bar at the top.
Taking appropriate precautions based on the UV index can help you stay safe in the sun and reduce your risk of skin damage and skin cancer.
This may include wearing protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen with a high SPF.
