Live UV for your town, kid-friendly advice, auto-refreshing every 15 minutes. No tracking, no cookies, no ads — safe for the smartboard.
Type your town once and leave the display running: pupils see the live UV value, what it means in child-friendly words, and when sunscreen or shade is needed for the schoolyard. The screen refreshes itself every 15 minutes via Open-Meteo — no accounts, no cookies, no advertising, ever. Sun-safety habits form early: a quick glance at the number before break time teaches children the same routine dermatologists recommend for adults — check first, then choose hat, shade or sunscreen.
It pairs well with our printable UV scale poster for schools, and older pupils can explore the full UV index scale or look up their own town on the live UV checker.
Ideas that work well in class: let pupils predict the afternoon value each morning and check who came closest at the end of the day; compare your town with a class partner school abroad; or track the weekly curve on the whiteboard through the seasons. The display shows real scientific data — the same Open-Meteo feed used by researchers — which makes it a simple, honest introduction to reading live measurements.
