Ultraviolet Index (UVI)

Using the interactive version of the UVI Map requires that you install Flash 8 or above from Adobe and have Javascript enabled in your browser.

Check out the Ultraviolet Index for your town and get personal UVI recommendations for your skin type.

Recommendations for the current day and the first two following days assume clear skies, and are based on forecast ozone values. Recommendations at other dates assume clear skies and are based on climatological means of ozone.

Alternatively, you can find out today's UVI forecast for your town in a text version.
