      Living in Cyprus, I like to monitor the UV Index to make sure I'm safe during the day. I searched for it in the options but if it isn't there, Is it possible to display the UV Index for my location, please?

            @Marienka I Would Love It If You Guys Could Implement This I Know Your Prob Having Many Things On Your Plate, But There Are Numerous Benefits To UV Index And Most Sites Over At least A Current Or Daily Index Count, It Would Benefit Sailors Surfers, Hikers, Basically Anyone Outdoors. Not To Mention The Health Benefits. Honestly There Isn't A Really Accurate Or Honest Place To Go To Find The Current UV Index. Most Sites Are Wack And Some Are Just Plain Not Accurate. I Would Really Appreciate If You Did This And I Think The Community As A Whole. I Look Forward To All The Great Things Your Doing With This Site As I Love GIS Weather And Web Development. Keep Doing A Good Job Your Really Have A Great Product Here, Far Superior Then Other Weather Maps, Doing A Great Job At Represent Weather Model Data.

              I would appreciate the useful UV Index too, essential in cool or cloudy conditions ;)

              For the time being I recommend this study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27664761 as a benchmark.

                    I’ve been wanting to install the app (also) on my mum’s phone and what is missing is the UV index!
                    Please consider adding this feature to make Windy top!!

                        @atalantia I want UV rating too! So important for me living in Australia. We have the depleted ozone above us. I’m a premium subscriber and having UV would make your app so much more complete.

                            Btw. NOAA (at least) provides such a global UV Index model for free: https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/stratosphere/uv_index/uv_global.shtml

                            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                              Please include a UV Index layer to Windy. Would be nice to minimize apps on my phone and have Windy as my go-to.
