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.

What you get

• Current UV index for your location.
• A roughly three-hour forecast, useful for timing outdoor activity.
• Sun-safety tips grounded in the standard advice (SPF, shade, time of day).
• Alerts when UV is high enough to need protection.

Why this is more useful than it sounds

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.

Who it is for

Runners, hikers, parents, and anyone working outside. Also useful for anyone on photosensitizing medication, where sun exposure is a real concern.
