ARPANSA - Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency

ARPANSA maintains a network of dataloggers situated in major Australian cities and in the Australian Antarctic territories. These dataloggers continuously record the solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) levels at each site. This data is available as UV Index values and graphs.

This page shows a list of Australian cities for which month-to-date UV Index values are available. Click on a city name to display the UV Index reports recorded so far this month for that city. At the end of the month the UV summaries for the whole month are available on the UV Index monthly summaries page.
