How to read this page
How to read the UV index
The scale starts at 0 and has no ceiling: 3 to 5 calls for protection, 8 to 10 is very high, above 11 extreme. The 11.1 peak for Mariano Roque Alonso applies at the Sun’s highest moment, not all day.
Where the data comes from
The series comes from MET Norway (clear-sky UV index parameter), computed for the coordinates of Mariano Roque Alonso, refreshed at 2026-10-16T01:17:40Z. Licensed CC BY 4.0.
Clear sky, not real sky
The index assumes clear sky: under thick cover the real value in Mariano Roque Alonso is lower. This page is informational and does not replace medical advice on skin and sun exposure.
Protection in practice
At index 3 or above, the World Health Organization advises shade in the middle of the day, a shirt, a broad-brimmed hat, UV-filtering sunglasses and sunscreen reapplied through the day.
Understanding the UV index in Mariano Roque Alonso
What is the UV index in Mariano Roque Alonso today?
The forecast UV peak in Mariano Roque Alonso is 11.1 (Extreme (11 and above)), around 10/17/26, 3:00 PM UTC. 23 hours of the day sit at 3 or above, and 18 at 6 or above.
A very high or extreme peak: in Mariano Roque Alonso unprotected fair skin starts to burn within minutes in the middle of the day, and shade stops being optional. Over the coming days the highest forecast value is 11.1, on Oct 17, 2026.
How long can I stay in the sun in Mariano Roque Alonso?
Avoid midday sun. Sunburn in minutes. The index depends on how high the Sun is, on the thickness of the ozone layer, on altitude and on what stands in the way: Mariano Roque Alonso lies at 25.21° of latitude, and the peak always falls near solar noon, not clock noon. Sand, snow and water reflect radiation and add to what comes from above.
The value on this page is computed for clear sky: under thick cloud the real figure in Mariano Roque Alonso sits below 11.1, but thin cloud barely filters UV — which is exactly why sunburn on an overcast day is so common.
Words on this page
UV index
An open-ended scale starting at 0 that measures the strength of ultraviolet radiation able to redden skin. From 3 to 5 protection is already advised, 8 to 10 is very high and above 11 is extreme. It depends on how high the Sun is, on the ozone layer, on altitude and on cloud.
Standard definition by WHO / WMO — Global Solar UV Index · UV index
Ultraviolet radiation
The invisible part of sunlight with wavelengths below violet. UVB burns skin and is largely filtered by the ozone layer; UVA goes deeper, passes through glass and ages skin. The UV index sums both up by their reddening effect.
Standard definition by WHO / WMO — Global Solar UV Index · Ultraviolet radiation
Ground-level ozone
Ozone formed near the ground when sunlight reacts with exhaust gases and solvents. It is not the ozone layer, which sits kilometres up and protects us: this one irritates the airways and rises on clear, hot, windless days.
Standard definition by U.S. EPA — AQI Technical Assistance Document · Ground-level ozone
AQI
The United States Air Quality Index, 0 to 500, which converts each pollutant concentration into a single score and reports the worst one. Up to 50 is good, above 100 it starts to affect sensitive groups, above 150 it affects everyone. The score is not linear in concentration: it follows breakpoints set by the EPA.

Preliminary data
A measurement published as soon as it is collected, before the agency’s final review. It can be corrected or withdrawn: earthquake magnitudes shift in the first hours, air-quality readings are revised weeks later. Use it to plan your day, not for regulatory or legal purposes.
