What is UV and how does it affect us?

Ultraviolet light (UV) is a type of radiation found naturally in sunlight. Exposure to UV can cause our skin to tan or burn - so although you cannot see or feel it, it important to be aware of its effects.

If you are in the UK can stay aware of UV levels using the Met Office mobile app:
