Weather Trivia
Did you know that the UV index is a measure of the strength of sunburn-producing ultraviolet radiation at a particular place and time? A moderate UV index of 3 suggests that while the risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure is low, covering up and using SPF sunscreen can help prevent long-term skin damage.
