How Sunny is it? The UV Index

The ozone layer shields the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Ozone depletion, as well as seasonal and weather variations, cause different amounts of UV radiation to reach the Earth at any given time. The UV Index can be used to take appropriate sun-protective behaviors and avoid overexposure to UV radiation.

United States: 

 The UV Index, developed by the National Weather Service and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indicates the strength of solar UV radiation on a scale from 1 (low) to 11+ (extremely high).
