Question

What's the UV index supposed to be like in my area (I live in southwest Michigan)? Can I tan today?

Answer 1

If the sun is out, then you can tan for sure. The UV index should be pushing 8 in southern michigan during peak sunlight hours.

Answer 2

You can find out by checking any weather website. Try this one http://www.weathermichigan.com/swmi.htm

I assume you are fully aware of the damage to your skin caused by tanning. However, I also assume you are old enough to make those sorts of decisions.
