The UV index is "moderate" from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (sunburn in 45 minutes) so sunscreen and a hat are a good idea.
The forecast pollen levels are medium-high to high the next four days, with ash, elm, and juniper the predominant pollen types.
The air quality forecast is "good" today and tomorrow as north breezes sweep particle pollution out of the valley.
