Sunburn Time
The sunburn time is calculated from UV. The sunburn time is based on Caucasian skin. In general,
the darker the skin pigment, the longer the sunburn time.
A sun protection icon appears when the UV index is moderate to extreme.

The US EPA defines the UVI as follows:
UVI
Rating
Comments
0-2
Low
A UV Index reading of 0 to 2 means low danger from the sun's UV rays
for the average person.
3-5
Medium
A UV Index reading of 3 to 5 means moderate risk of harm from
unprotected sun exposure.
6-7
High
A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 means high risk of harm from unprotected
sun exposure. Protection against skin and eye damage is needed.
8-10
Very High
A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 means very high risk of harm from
unprotected sun exposure. Take extra precautions because unprotected
skin and eyes will be damaged and can burn quickly.

A UV Index reading of 11 or more means extreme risk of harm from
unprotected sun exposure. Take all precautions because unprotected skin
and eyes can burn in minutes.
