UV Index

The World Health Organization's Global Solar UV Index measures UV levels on a scale from 0 (Low) to 11+ (Extreme). Sun protection is recommended when UV levels are 3 (Moderate) or higher.

The UV level is affected by a number of factors including the time of day, time of year, cloud cover, altitude, location and surrounding surfaces.

Check out the UV levels and sun protection times for your location (Australia Only).

For locations outside of Australia you can download the FREE Sunsmart Global UV App in the Apple Store & Google Play.


Using sun protection during the times stated on the widget does not guarantee that you will not get skin cancer, and that you may also need to use sun protection outside of the sun protection times stated on the Widget. We accept no liability of any kind arising out of the use of, or otherwise associated with, the Widget.
