Know the UV Index

The National Weather Service and the United States Environmental Protection Agency developed the UV Index. It provides a daily forecast of the expected risk for exposure to the sun.

Based on a scale from one to 11+, the UV Index is calculated on a next day basis for every zip code in the United States. To reduce sun-related damage, pay attention to the UV Index in your area.
