Real-time UV index for your location, with sun-safety guidance.

UV Index Today is a weather-adjacent tool that shows the current UV index at your location, a short forecast, and practical sun-safety guidance. It exists because most weather apps show temperature and precipitation but treat UV as an afterthought, and UV is the one that matters for skin.
If you spend time outside, run, hike, or have fair skin or a family history of skin issues, the UV index is the single number that should change your behavior. A forecast that tells you "UV hits 9 between 11 and 2" tells you more about when to be outside than the temperature does.
Runners, hikers, parents, and anyone working outside. Also useful for anyone on photosensitizing medication, where sun exposure is a real concern.
