Purpose of the study: This work analyzes the incidence of the solar erythemal irradiance on the body of persons exposed to the solar UV radiation in outdoor natural conditions. Clear sky days are considered in order to obtain the maximum intensity for a given place, time of the day and day of the year. In this way, a detailed information is obtained on the distribution of the solar UV radiation on each portion of the skin, which generalize the usual result of the irradiance measured on a horizontal plane, as it is done in order to determine the solar UV index for skin exposure risk.
