UV index in Orlando today

Before a usable live response loads, the dial above shows a labelled typical reference for Orlando (28.54°N, 81.38°W). On a typical clear day the index builds through the morning and peaks near 1pm at about 11 — the extreme band — before easing off toward sunset at 20:25. When live hydration succeeds, the card replaces the reference with a current observation and forecast. Use the verified current value, not the temperature, to decide whether it is a tan window or a cover-up hour. Afternoon storms can break the heat but UV is extreme before they arrive — check the hourly curve.

Questions

Is it safe to tan in Orlando at midday?

Around midday Orlando typically reaches UV 11 (extreme), strong enough to burn unprotected skin quickly. It is better used as shade-first time. For a gentler session, aim for the lower-UV windows around 8:00–9:30 or 17:00–18:45, and use broad-spectrum SPF. These are estimates, not medical advice.

When is UV lowest in Orlando?

UV is lowest near sunrise (6:26) and sunset (20:25) and climbs to its peak around 1pm. The morning and late-afternoon tan windows — about 8:00–9:30 and 17:00–18:45 — are the lower-UV parts of daylight that are still warm enough to be useful for a careful tan.
