How it Works (The "Gee-Wiz" Info)

This tool estimates the time it takes to get a sunburn based on the hourly UV index forecast and your selected skin type (using the Fitzpatrick scale). A higher UV index or a more sensitive skin type will result in a shorter time to burn.

UV Index Scale:

0-2 (Low): Low risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.
3-5 (Moderate): Moderate risk of harm. Seek shade during peak hours.
6-7 (High): High risk of harm. Protection essential.
8-10 (Very High): Very high risk of harm. Unprotected skin can burn quickly.
11+ (Extreme): Extreme risk of harm. Take all precautions.

Disclaimer: This tool provides an estimate for informational purposes only. It does not account for sunscreen, clothing, or other protective measures. Always use your best judgment.
