UV forecasts in the app

Did you know that you can check UV Index levels in your location via the Weather & Radar app? Simply head to your home screen and scroll down.

You can see the day's peak UV through the forecast card or an hourly breakdown with the dedicated UV Index feature.

Any moderate level of UV, from three and above, requires some form of additional protection. At the lower levels, this includes applying sunscreen.

During the spring months, UV levels gradually build in strength. In summer, across the UK and Ireland, UV levels tend to reach 7 on the hottest days.

Remember to check the forecast as warmer days come, and the weather trend for the latest outlook.
