UV Index is a measure of exposure to erythemally weighted irradiance. Basically, the erythemal irradiance in milliwatts per square meter is divided by 25 in order to provide a convenient index useful to the public. The number 25 is chosen because a typical clear sky, mid-day erythemal irradiance is about 250 milliwatts per square meter which results in a UV index of 10, which is simple to relate to potential for skin damage.
