UV index in Baden-Württemberg: How to protect yourself today and tomorrow!

Stuttgart, Deutschland - The UV index in Baden-Württemberg on November 19, 2024 is remarkably low! Today the average value is only 0.03, which means that the solar radiation is hardly dangerous. In the Stuttgart region, the maximum values are also modest: Stuttgart I and II, Böblingen, Esslingen and Waiblingen only reach 0.25 UVI, while Göppingen lags behind with 0.21 UVI. A perfect day to move outdoors without sunburn!

What can we expect tomorrow?

But the sun doesn't always stay so harmless! Tomorrow, on November 20, 2024, an increase in the UV index will be forecast to an average of 0.15. In Stuttgart and the surrounding area, the values could increase up to 0.83 UVI! This means that the solar radiation then becomes a little more intense. Especially in Stuttgart I and II, Böblingen, Esslingen and Waiblingen, people should prepare for the increased UV load. A sun hat and sunglasses could not hurt!

What is UV radiation?

UV radiation is the invisible, short-wave part of the light that can penetrate deep into the skin. High doses can be harmful, but they are also necessary for vitamin D production in the body. The WHO recommends taking 3 protective measures from a UV index. With values between 3 and 8, hat and sunglasses should also be worn, while from a value of 8 the sun should be avoided better. Biometeorology plays a crucial role here, because factors such as clouds and geographical location significantly influence the UV index. A high UV index can increase the risk of sunburn and skin cancer-so always be careful!
