Understanding the UV Index is crucial for residents of Nerchinskiy Zavod, as it directly impacts your skin health and helps prevent painful sunburns. With a climate classified as Dwc, which includes cold winters and mild summers, the risk of UV exposure can fluctuate significantly throughout the year. During the peak sun hours, particularly between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM, the UV Index can reach levels of 8, suggesting a very high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Stay informed and make the necessary precautions to enjoy the sun safely!
As the sun rises, the UV Index begins its ascent, starting at a mere 1 at 7:00 AM. By 8:00 AM, it climbs to 2, but it’s by 9:00 AM that we see a moderate rise to 3. The intensity peaks between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, hitting a high of 8, indicating that sun protection methods should be in full swing. As the afternoon progresses, values slightly decrease, with the UV Index dropping to 6 by 3:00 PM and then gradually retreating to 1 by 7:00 PM. This hourly data serves as a reminder to stay vigilant about sun safety during the mid-day hours when UV exposure is at its highest.
