UV Index Today

Sunlight contains invisible ultraviolet (UV) rays that can affect our skin and eyes.

While some exposure is beneficial, too much can be harmful.

The strength of these rays depends on factors like time of day, season, and location—strongest around midday, in summer, and at high altitudes or near the equator.

To stay safe, experts recommend checking the UV index, which indicates daily sun intensity.

When levels are high, protective measures like sunscreen, hats, and shade become especially important.

By being aware of these factors, we can enjoy the sun safely while reducing health risks.
