About the two indexes
The UV Index measures the part of sunlight that burns. It does not measure UVA.
UVA is present for longer in the day, and through the winter, than the UV Index suggests. Solarpunk works it out from the forecast and shows it on the UV Index's own numbers, so one key serves both.

The UV Index doesn't measure UVA.
It measures the sunlight that burns, mostly UVB. We created an app that shows both, so you know when to wear sunscreen.
