What the UV index means

The UV index is an international measure of the strength of solar ultraviolet radiation reaching the surface. The scale runs from 0 and upwards. In Norway, summer values are typically between 3 and 7, with higher values possible in clear conditions, in the mountains and on snow. Sun protection is generally recommended from UV index 3 and above.
