Today’s UV Index

The UV Index Scale is a measure used to indicate the strength of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun at a particular place and time. It helps people understand how much potential harm can occur from being outside in the sun, guiding them in taking proper precautions to protect their skin. Here's a breakdown of the UV Index Scale:

• 0-2: Low - Minimal risk; basic sun protection like sunglasses is sufficient.
• 3-5: Moderate - Moderate risk; seek shade, wear sunglasses, and use SPF 15+ sunscreen.
• 6-7: High - High risk; limit sun exposure, use SPF 30+ sunscreen, and seek shade.
• 8-10: Very High - Very high risk; avoid sun exposure, use SPF 30+ sunscreen, and wear protective clothing.
• 11+: Extreme - Extreme risk; avoid the sun as much as possible, use high SPF sunscreen, and wear full protective clothing.
