Yeah not bad, though UV index of 3 is pretty comically low. Here in Manila it's basically full cloud conditions.

I'd be interested to know a curve, i.e. at UV index 8, 3 minutes exposure, at index 6, 10 minutes exposure, etc. Maybe with a scaling for skin tone. It seems like either this kind of study has never been done (perhaps for ethical reasons) or else the information is not being disseminated. The latter seems to happen often in the medical space for paternalistic reasons, which honestly make sense for the broad public but it should be available for people to find who are motivated and have a deeper interest anyway.
