Minutes to sunburn to UV index
Type a value in min to get it in UVI instantly.
That's 1.04× as strong as the high Andes — nothing on our list beats it. That is extreme: unprotected skin burns in minutes.
Convert the other way: UVI to min
What it means
How strong is that sun?
Information only. Burn times are for unprotected skin in full sun and vary a lot between people; sunscreen, shade and reflection from snow or water change them.
The math
How to convert min to UVI
One UV index point is 25 mW/m² of erythemal UV. Minutes to burn are MED ÷ (UVI × 0.025 W/m² × 60), using the skin type chosen above.
Example: 8 min = 20.8333 UVI.
Burn times below are for Type II: fair, usually burns. Change it above and they update.
