OpenUV
OpenUV returns a real-time UV index for any latitude/longitude by combining satellite ozone and cloud-cover data, plus a computed daily UV maximum and a recommended safe-sun-exposure window based on Fitzpatrick skin type. It's popular in smart-home platforms like Home Assistant for driving sun-safety automations.
