UV Index is useful, but it is not the whole day. Beyond UV shows Apple Weather's UV Index next to UVA Context, Beyond UV's own modeled estimate of longer-wave UV, on the same familiar 0–11+ scale. The UV Index is weighted to sunburn and barely counts UVA, which gets through clouds and window glass all year. UV NOW uses the higher level of the two signals. The numbers are never added or averaged. Tap Start now when you head out and Beyond UV reminds you to reapply sunscreen, with a Lock Screen Live Activity, one-tap Reapplied, and an Apple Watch app. Set a UV alert at the level you choose for each place. A 5-day hourly forecast shows how UV Index and UVA Context move through each day, and Protect can find a lower-UV time for an activity you can move. Answer a few questions to see your sun risk profile: your exposure level, a protection score, and the one change that helps most. Add your skin type to see an estimated burn time range for unprotected skin at today's UV. Estimate only, not medical advice. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep UV in view. Search any city worldwide, or use Current Location. Learn answers common sun questions from reviewed answers stored on your device, and you can share any answer as a card. No account. No ads. No analytics. UVA Context is a forecast-based estimate calculated on your device. It is not a UVA measurement, not an official UV index, and not a personal exposure reading. Beyond UV does not diagnose skin conditions or give medical advice.
