Vitamin D today
Is there vitamin D in Warsaw today?
In Warsaw the UV index does not reach 3 at any point today, and below that minimum the skin makes no vitamin D however long the exposure lasts. What decides it is not how high the sun gets but how much UVB reaches the ground: with the sun this oblique, the ozone layer absorbs nearly all of it.

Why tomorrow is not the same
The window moves with the height of the sun, which changes every day, and with the ozone column over Warsaw, which varies with the season. It is not one fixed fact about the city: it runs much longer in some months than in others, and at high enough latitudes there are months when it never opens.
