Weather & UV Tools
Weather tools become more useful when they explain what the number means, not just what the number is. UV index is a good example: the same reading can feel abstract until you translate it into risk level, sun-protection urgency, and outdoor planning context. This hub keeps the first weather-safety tools focused on that practical interpretation.
