Residents are learning about the importance of sun safety. A forecasted value helps predict the Sun's ultraviolet radiation for the day. This value typically peaks in the middle of the day.

The Environmental Protection Agency categorizes UV exposure into several levels. When levels are high, preventive measures are necessary to avoid sunburn. Certain times of the day are also recommended for indoor activities.

Further information is available on the UV Index and its categories, which range from low to extreme. Residents can learn more about the risks associated with UV exposure and how to protect themselves.
