4. Today’s ultraviolet index level in the Los Angeles area will be 11, according to the National Weather Service.The reading indicates what the UV exposure is expected to be at noon, when the sun's rays are at their strongest. A very high exposure level reading of 10, or greater, means a fair skinned person could suffer a sunburn in about four minutes if not protected.
