UV Index Help


UV Index is the Ultra Violet Radiation Index.

The index is a value between 0 (none) and 15 (extreme).

This value shows the part of the invisible spectrum of light that reaches the earth from the sun.

Although the Earth's atmosphere protects us from the bulk of these rays, those that get through are still harmful.

UV has been linked to sunburn, skin cancer, skin wrinkling and aging, cataracts, and other ocular damage.
