Understanding South Africa's Extreme UV Levels
SA UV Index vs Global Standards
| Location | Summer Peak UV | Winter Peak UV | Annual UV Dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Johannesburg, SA | 13+ (Extreme) | 7 (High) | 4,200 kJ/m² |
| London, UK | 6 (High) | 1 (Low) | 1,100 kJ/m² |

Why SA Workers Face Higher UV Risk
Geographic Location
South Africa's proximity to the equator means more direct UV radiation year-round
High Altitude Regions
UV intensity increases 10% for every 1000m elevation - Johannesburg sits at 1,753m
Clear Skies
300+ days of sunshine annually with minimal cloud cover for UV filtration
Ozone Depletion
Southern Hemisphere ozone hole increases UV-B radiation by up to 40%
