UV Level On The Rise

Break out the hats and sunglasses.

If you love summer weather, but not harmful UV rays, the next few days might be good ones to break out a brimmed hat.

UV rays will be at 8 level, within Medium-High range on Monday, according to Pollen.com. Tuesday will be an even higher, rising slightly to 9, which is still well within Medium range. Wednesday's UV levels will fall back to 8.

Rays today will be at the 8 level.
