Weather Trivia
The UV index is a crucial tool for gauging the strength of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation at a particular place and time. A moderate index level suggests that while the risk from unprotected sun exposure is lower, precautions such as sunscreen and protective clothing are still beneficial, especially during the brightest parts of the day.
