FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
uvrating.com is a website that provides hourly UV Index forecasts for locations in the USA, Canada, and Australia. Our goal is to help users understand and prepare for UV exposure in their area.
The UV Index is a standardized scale that measures the strength of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun at a particular time and location. It ranges from 0 (low) to 11+ (extreme) and helps people gauge the potential for skin damage from sun exposure.
The UV Index scale is as follows:
- 0-2: Low
- 3-5: Moderate
- 6-7: High
- 8-10: Very High
- 11+: Extreme
Higher numbers indicate a greater risk of sun damage to unprotected skin and eyes.
UV forecasts help you plan outdoor activities and take appropriate sun protection measures. Excessive UV exposure can lead to sunburn, premature skin aging, eye damage, and increase the risk of skin cancer. By knowing the UV levels, you can make informed decisions about sun safety.
Our UV forecasts are updated hourly to provide you with the most accurate and current information throughout the day.
To protect yourself from UV radiation, you can:
- Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with an appropriate SPF
- Seek shade, especially during peak UV hours (usually 10 AM to 4 PM)
- Wear protective clothing, including wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses
- Use the UV Index forecast to plan outdoor activities
Yes, but not as much as you might think. While clouds can reduce UV levels, they do not block all UV radiation. Up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate light cloud cover. Our forecasts take cloud cover into account for more accurate predictions.
