Today's UV outlook for Spokane

Today's forecast for Spokane peaks at UV 4.0 around 12:00. The hourly outlook shows 2 hours at moderate or above (UV 3+). The live reading is UV 0.0 right now.

Spokane sits at about 520 m elevation. Thinner air at altitude can add roughly 5% UV compared with sea level at the same latitude—cool mountain air is not a low-UV signal.

UV stays mostly in the low-to-moderate range today, but the hourly bars still show when exposure climbs. Fair skin still benefits from SPF for extended time outdoors.
