Today's peak stays low. Unprotected skin is not at meaningful risk at any point in the day.
Kyiv sits at 50.5° N, in the northern hemisphere. Today's UV peaks at 1.8: the "low" band, which uvlevel.net treats as no danger for unprotected skin at the worst hour.
Kyiv sees the widest UV swing of the year of any latitude band: a sharp summer peak around June and July, and a winter trough around December and January where midday UV can sit near zero for weeks at a time.
