Which Countries Have Especially High UV Levels — and Why They Are Dangerous
Ultraviolet radiation is often underestimated because it does not feel as obvious as heat. But a high UV index depends on more than air temperature alone. According to the World Health Organization, ultraviolet levels are influenced by latitude, altitude, cloud cover, the condition of the ozone layer, and reflection from the surface. That is why dangerous sun exposure is found not only in hot tropical climates, but also in countries where the weather may seem fairly mild.
