What was the UV index today? See The Full Video To Find Out!

I was wondering, "What is the UV Index Today?" I sure found out and you will need to see the full video to find out! When I recorded the video the UV Index was flipping a lot. I thought I saw 12 UV Index. Guess what? It was way higher! I had to start and stop the video while editing and find what I thought was a 12. It was a 17.5 UV Index!

People are experiencing heat exhaustion in the summer and I wanted to help out and report what is the UV Index in my area. The heat around the planet has definitely increased over the years. Especially this summer. People may need some UV Index Sunscreen.

What is UV Index? Ultraviolet index.

UV Index Explained:

According to Merriam Webster's Medical Definition:
a number on a scale that extends indefinitely upward from a baseline of 0 and whose values express the intensity of solar ultraviolet radiation at noon on a given day for a particular location with 0 indicating negligible ultraviolet exposure and values over 10 indicating very high ultraviolet exposure

Sometimes we will need to protect our skin with wearables to avoid skin cancer. Some may need to pursue sun safety measures and use things like sunscreen and vitamin D.

It's highly advisable that if the UV Index is 11 or higher to avoid being outdoors, wear protective clothing, and sunglasses. UV index 11 can be very detrimental for light-skinned people. UV sunscreen is needed way before we get to the 11 index level. I'm sure many people in my area may not realize the UV Radiation they are exposing themselves to on a daily basis.

The astonishing thing is, if you look at the short video in its entirety, you will see that the highest UV Index peaked at 17.5 UV Index! Well, at least I know my body produced Vitamin D that day lol.

From what I gather, many may need to wear sunscreen and find the right SPF for their skin, wear protective clothing, avoid the outdoors as much as possible, wear hats and sunglasses, research on how to avoid skin cancer, avoid UV radiation, and find what UV protection suits your skin type.

Be safe and be sure to have an app, UV meter, or check the weather for the UV levels. There is a UVA, UVB, and UVC. Be sure to do the research needed for your skin type and take the necessary precautions. Stay safe.

Merriam Webster Definitions:
(Do your research based on your needs)

UVA: radiation that is in the region of the ultraviolet spectrum which extends from about 320 to 400 nm in wavelength and that causes tanning and contributes to aging of the skin

UVB: radiation that is in the region of the ultraviolet spectrum which extends from about 280 to 320 nm in wavelength and that is primarily responsible for sunburn, aging of the skin, and the development of skin cancer

UVC:
radiation that is in the region of the ultraviolet spectrum which extends from about 200 to 280 nm in wavelength and that is more hazardous than UVB but is mostly absorbed by the earth's upper atmosphere
