A method and apparatus for predictive, context-aware, and networked exposure time monitoring. The method may include storing (320), in a memory, personal information including skin phototype and sun protection factor information, obtaining (330) context related information including an activity, a location, and a time of day, and retrieving (340) environmental conditions that affect ultraviolet exposure. The environmental conditions can include weather conditions retrieved from a network. The method can also include predicting (350) ultraviolet exposure time based on the personal information, the context related information, and the environmental conditions and outputting (360) information corresponding to the ultraviolet exposure time.
