Calculated clear-sky noon peaks at the average latitude of each zone. Real values vary with clouds, altitude and ozone.
Using Nuuk as a reference: the UV index reaches 6+ in rarely any month. In the sunniest zones (see table) SPF 30–50+ is needed almost year-round; in the mildest — only in late spring and summer.
The calculated clear-sky maximum is ≈ 5.8 — in Nuuk around June. Values above this occur only near the equator and in high mountains.
