Clear skies allow 100% of the incoming UV radiation from the sun to reach the surface, whereas scattered clouds transmit 89%, broken clouds transmit 73%, and overcast conditions transmit 31%.

UV at the surface increases about 6% per kilometer above sea level.

UV Calculation - 400 x 1.06 x 0.73 = 309.5 / 25 = 12.4
