An infographic about the UV index. The top section reads: "The UV index is an indicator of when the sun is most dangerous." Below, it states: "When the UV index is 3 and above, protect yourself from the sun." In the center, there's an illustration of a smartphone screen showing a UV index scale: Low (UV index 1β2): Green, sun protection not required Moderate (UV index 3β5): Yellow, sun protection required High (UV index 6β7): Orange, sun protection required Very High (UV index 8β10): Red, sun protection required Extreme (UV index 11+): Purple, sun protection required A call-to-action in a yellow box reads: "Be aware of the UV index, wherever you are. Download the SunSmart Global UV App," with logos for the App Store and Google Play.
The UV index tells you when the βοΈ is most dangerous. When it indicates 3 & above, you need sun protection.
Download the SunSmart Global UV app to protect yourself from overexposure to #UVradiation & lower your risk of skin cancer!
