In Berlin (52.5° latitude), November 2026 has 30 days whose sun rises at 07:08 and sets at 16:32 on the 1st, and at 07:56 and 15:56 on the 30th. Mid-month the day lasts 8 h 38 min and the sun reaches 18° above the horizon. Even so, the UV index never reaches 3 at any point in the month: at this latitude and time of year, the ozone layer absorbs UVB before enough of it reaches the ground.
