UV radiation is calculated for Russian regions where anomalies of the total ozone content were observed in the first quarter of 2016. Winter ozone depletion in northern regions of Siberia, even to the levels of the so-called ozone hole, is not critical. However, much weaker ozone reduction in the early spring can lead to dangerous levels of erythemal UV radiation, when skin protection from ultraviolet radiation is required.
