Default The UV Index and why your canopy is your friend

These measurements made me curious about what the UVI index is, so I did
some searching and learned a few things:

* The UVA band (315 nm to 400 nm) is the primary tanning and
wrinkling band


It is also the primary basal and squamous cell skin cancer band.

The UV coming through you canopy can kill you. Protect yourself from it
properly.
