Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Météo UV at none against UV Index's 24. Météo UV also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). UV Index's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
