The US EPA describes the UV Index as a scale from 0 – 11+. They also note that “in some parts of the United States, the UV Index rarely or never reaches [level 6]”
I don’t think the UV Index in Perth has been below 13 since I arrived. It’s peaking at 18 today in Mareeba.
Residents are advised to stay inside unless you wear sunscreen or are very, very hairy. Experts recommend a class 9, or “Robin Williams”, level of hair coverage.
