Low danger for the average person.
UV index 2 is still classified as low risk. Most people can be outdoors safely for extended periods, though very fair-skinned individuals (Type I) should be aware of cumulative exposure.
UV 2 occurs during mid-morning or mid-afternoon at temperate latitudes, or on overcast days during summer. It represents a step up from UV 1 but remains well within safe limits.
