Parameters - UV Index
Vantage Pro2 can also display UV Index, an intensity measurement first defined Environment Canada and since been adopted by World Meteorological Organization. UV Index assigns a number between 0 and 16 to the current UV intensity. The US EPA categorizes the Index values as shown in table A-3. The lower the number, the lower the danger of sunburn. The Index value published by the U.S. National Weather Service is a forecast of the next day’s noontime UV intensity. The index values displayed by the Vantage Pro2 are real-time measurements.
