UV Index

The ozone layer shields the Earth from harmful 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. Developed by the National Weather Service (NWS) and EPA, the UV Index predicts the next day's ultraviolet radiation levels on a 1-11+ scale, helping people determine appropriate sun-protective behaviors.

Today's UV Index

The UV Index is calculated daily. Enter your zip code or city and state below for today's UV Index in your area. (Not available for Alaska and Hawaii.)
