What is the UV Index?

The ultraviolet index or UV Index is an international standard measurement of the strength of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun at a particular place on a particular day. It is a scale primarily used in daily forecasts aimed at the general public, and is now available as an hourly forecast as well.

Public health organizations recommend that people protect themselves (for example, by applying sunscreen to the skin and wearing a hat) when the UV Index is 3 or higher; see the table below for complete recommendations.

Recommendations for protection when the day’s predicted UV Index is at various values are:

 

UV index	Description	Media graphic color	Recommended protection
0–2	Low danger from the sun’s UV rays for the average person	Green	Wear sunglasses on bright days; use sunscreen if there is snow on the ground, which reflects UV radiation, or if you have particularly fair skin.
3–5	Moderate risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure	Yellow	Take precautions, such as covering up, if you will be outside.Stay in shade near midday when the sun is strongest.
6–7	High risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure	Orange	Wear sunglasses and use SPF 30+ sunscreen, cover the body with sun protective clothingand a wide-brim hat, and reduce time in the sun from three hours before to three hours aftersolar noon.
8–10	Very high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure	Red	Wear SPF 30+ sunscreen, a shirt, sunglasses, and a hat. Do not stay out in the sun for too long.
11+	Extreme risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure	Violet	Take all precautions, including: wear sunglasses and use SPF 30+ sunscreen, cover the body with a long-sleeve shirt and trousers, wear a very broad hat, and avoid the sun from three hours before until three hours after solar noon.
