To know the UV index for today at your specific location, you need to check a local UV index forecast or website that provides real-time or daily updated UV index data because the UV index varies by location, time of day, cloud cover, altitude, and other factors
. The UV index scale ranges from 0 (low) to 11+ (extreme), indicating the strength of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation and the potential risk of skin damage
. When the UV index is 3 or above, sun protection such as sunscreen, hats, and shade is recommended
. Since your query did not specify a location, I recommend using a trusted UV index forecast service or app where you can enter your city or ZIP code to get today's UV index. Examples include:
- MeteoSwiss UV Index service for Switzerland
- Coppertone UV Index local search
- Met Éireann UV Index for Ireland
- US EPA UV Index search by ZIP code
- ARPANSA UV radiation index for Australia
These sources update daily and provide detailed UV index forecasts so you can take appropriate sun protection measures today.
