Understanding UV in New Zealand
UV levels across New Zealand follow the same daily pattern everywhere: low in the early morning, a peak around midday, and a drop toward evening. How high the peak gets depends on the season, the sun's angle, elevation, and cloud cover. Places closer to the equator and at higher elevation tend to see stronger midday UV.
Whatever the forecast, the safe habits are the same. Check the live reading for your city, cover up when the index hits 3 or more, and be extra careful with midday sun on high-UV days.
