Today's peak stays low. Unprotected skin is not at meaningful risk at any point in the day.
Salt Lake City sits at 40.8° N, in the northern hemisphere. Today's UV peaks at 2: the "low" band, which uvlevel.net treats as no danger for unprotected skin at the worst hour.
Salt Lake City 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.
Salt Lake City sits about 1302 m above sea level. Thinner air scatters and absorbs less UV on the way down, so uvlevel.net adds roughly 10% to the modelled index here: uv = max(weather, CAMS) × (1 + 0.08 × metres/1000). That correction is already folded into every number on this page.
