Based on data collected from January 1996 to May 2000, this paper outlines a general climatology of the noontime maximum ultra-violet index (UVI) in Taiwan. In summer, high UVI values of 14-15 can be observed at a 2400m-high mountain site and at southern and eastern coastal sites. It is noted that Taipei, a polluted city, has only a 19% chance of observing a UVI over 9 in July, while Hualien, a clean coastal city, has an 83% chance.
