Average hourly UV index in Sabana de Mendoza
Modeled clear-sky UV for every hour of every day — when in the day sun protection actually matters.

Solar energy
Average daily shortwave solar energy reaching the ground, banded into brightness zones so the number means something at a glance.
Solar energy is how much sunlight actually reaches the ground each day, measured in kilowatt-hours per square metre (kWh/m²) — the combined effect of how long the sun is up, how high it climbs, and how much cloud gets in the way. It's the raw fuel a solar panel has to work with: for scale, 1 kWh/m² a day is dim and wintry, while 7+ is desert-bright.
Sabana de Mendoza receives about 5.0 kWh/m² a day of solar energy — bright — and it stays remarkably steady, holding between 4.3 and 5.6 kWh/m² all year. For solar panels, output here is a flat line, not a seasonal wave.
