I-VI Skin response changes burn-risk estimates.

Start with the UV number, finish with a plan

TanPilot’s web strategy is utility-first: current UV, tanning timing, burn-risk education, skin type, then the app when saved alerts and routines are useful.

Current UV

See the UV band, source freshness, and a practical action cue before choosing outdoor time.

Tanning window

Avoid peak UV and use lower, monitored windows with SPF and shade breaks.

Burn-risk estimate

Use skin type, UV dose, and SPF as early-warning guidance rather than a promise of safe exposure.

UV bands TanPilot turns into action

The site uses public-health UV bands and cautious language across every SEO page.

UV Index	Band	TanPilot planning guidance
0-2	Low	Usually lower risk for the average adult, with extra care still useful around reflection, altitude, or very sun-sensitive skin.
3-5	Moderate	Protection starts to matter. WHO recommends sun protection when the UV Index is 3 or higher.
6-7	High	Plan shorter exposure windows, avoid the daily peak, and use shade, clothing, sunglasses, and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
8-10	Very high	Burn risk can rise quickly, especially near midday. Treat tanning time as a short, monitored exposure.
11+	Extreme	Extra protection is needed. TanPilot should nudge toward shade-first planning rather than longer exposure.
