Throughout the year, the UV Index measures fluctuate significantly, indicating varying levels of sun exposure risk. January and December present the lowest UV levels (Index 2), categorized as low risk, allowing for longer burn times of up to 45 minutes. As spring approaches, February (Index 3) begins a rise to moderate risk, and by March (Index 6), the risk escalates to high, with a burn time of just 25 minutes. From April to August, the UV Index peaks at very high levels, particularly during May and June when it reaches 10 and 9 respectively, necessitating protection against sun exposure for as little as 15 minutes. The summer months pose the highest risk; therefore, visitors and residents should prioritize sunscreen and protective clothing. Risk levels decline in September and October, but caution is still warranted as moderate levels persist. November returns to moderate risk, and after the winter months, the cycle starts anew. For safety, individuals should remain vigilant about UV exposure, especially during high-risk months from March to August.
