The numerical values in the row of 'MED', '600 cm²' and '1200 cm²' show the mean time to reach MED (Minimal Erythema Dose), the time required for 10 µg Vitamin D to be produced for a skin area of 600 cm², and 1200 cm² exposed to solar radiation in minutes, respectively.
By clicking each 10 day period, you can also see a diurnal variation of exposure time for that period.

Appropriate exposure time at every site shown below can be seen.
