UV Index Today

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.\n\n\n\n## What you get\n\n\n\n- Current UV index for your location.\n\n- A roughly three-hour forecast, useful for timing outdoor activity.\n\n- Sun-safety tips grounded in the standard advice (SPF, shade, time of day).\n\n- Alerts when UV is high enough to need protection.\n\n\n\n## Why this is more useful than it sounds\n\n\n\nIf 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.\n\n\n\n## Who it is for\n\n\n\nRunners, hikers, parents, and anyone working outside. Also useful for anyone on photosensitizing medication, where sun exposure is a real concern.
