The UV Index is how we measure the sunburn-producing UV (ultraviolet) rays from the sun at any specific location and or time of day. The lower the number, the lower the danger; the higher the number, the stronger the harmful rays of the sun.
It’s a great way to help avoid overexposure to the sun.
| UV Index | Exposure | Estimated Sunburn Time (*can vary by skin type) |
|---|---|---|
| 0-2 | Low | More than an hour |
| 3-5 | Medium | 30-45 minutes |
| 6-7 | High | About 30 minutes |
| 8-10 | Very High | About 20 minutes |
| 11+ | Extreme | Less than 10 minutes |
