Understanding the UV Index Scale

The UV Index measures solar ultraviolet radiation intensity on a scale from 0 to 11+:

  • 0-2 (Low): Minimal sun protection needed for most skin types
  • 3-5 (Moderate): Seek shade during midday, wear sunscreen SPF 30+
  • 6-7 (High): Reduce sun exposure between 10am-4pm, protection essential
  • 8-10 (Very High): Extra precautions required, avoid midday sun exposure
  • 11+ (Extreme): Maximum protection essential, minimize all sun exposure
