UV index is definitely a more accurate representation. I had to look it up because people always say it’s the elevation, which turns out to be partly true.

The link below says an increase of 2% for every 1000 feet, so most of Denver gets 10% more uv index because it’s closer to the sun (more accurately higher elevation/less atmosphere).
