An open source for getting UV-values calculated for your location is at https://www.openuv.io/
*Be aware* that the outputdata is for 'clear-sky':
for a cloudy or rainy day the value must be recalculated by yourself .......
But at least you get good reference/ceiling-values for the bright days.

Hi!

I would like to know if these values are plausible for UV sensor here, in Brazil. I'm located in Ribeirao Preto, SP, Brazil (-21.1767, -47.8208) and the sun is very 'hard' here. We are almost in tropical line and the sun pass almost 90º degree above us at 12h00 pm......also, we are just in the summer. So my question is: UV Index of 18~19 is a plausible value? peak of 20.

I'm asking because i'm testing a new sensor in my station, VEML6075....but I'm first trying it standalone using arduino and this library ( https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_VEML6075 ). Acording to this library,m the default values (calibration coefficient) are for the sensor direct in the sunlight, without any protection. That's how I tested today, sensor direct in the sunlight....but I'm thinking that 18~19 are too high, even with our 'brazilian sun'. It's very hot here, about 38~40 in the shade.

If I use the sensor indoor at night (just using my LED home lights), I got negative values in sensor (UVA and UVB, not index), but I think that's right, since LEd doesn't emmite any UV light and sensor has calibration values, right?



Here are the values that I got (just some samples). The lower value is during the shade of a cloud, but still very bright.
