Resumen
La primavera en La Plata se caracteriza por un aumento progresivo de temperatura, irradiancia solar y dosis de radiación ultravioleta (UV), factores que inciden tanto en la eficiencia energética como en la salud pública. En este trabajo se analizan datos obtenidos entre el 25 de octubre y el 16 de noviembre de 2025 en la estación meteorológica Gonnet del LAyHS-FAU-UNLP (red UNLP, equipo Davis Weather Pro), con el objetivo de evaluar la correlación entre temperatura exterior, dosis UV y energía solar medida en kWh/m². Los resultados muestran correlaciones muy fuertes entre las tres variables: R^2=0.997para UV vs energía solar, R^2=0.978para UV vs temperatura y R^2=0.983para energía solar vs temperatura. Estas relaciones confirman la coherencia física entre radiación solar y condiciones ambientales, y permiten validar modelos predictivos de eficiencia energética en primavera. Asimismo, se discute la implicancia de la radiación UV en la salud de la población argentina, considerando la diversidad de fototipos cutáneos —desde piel muy clara en descendientes europeos hasta piel café en poblaciones mestizas y afrodescendientes— y el riesgo elevado de cáncer de piel asociado a la exposición sin protección. El estudio integra ciencia, energía y salud, proponiendo un enfoque transdisciplinario que vincula ingeniería, arquitectura y medicina en la comprensión de la primavera como período de riesgo y oportunidad.
Spring in La Plata is characterized by a progressive increase in temperature, solar irradiance, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation dose, factors that affect both energy efficiency and public health. This study analyzes data collected between October 25 and November 16, 2025, from the Gonnet meteorological station of the LAyHS-FAU-UNLP (UNLP network, Davis Weather Pro equipment), aiming to evaluate the correlation between outdoor temperature, UV dose, and solar energy measured in kWh/m². Results show very strong correlations among the three variables: R^2=0.997for UV vs. solar energy, R^2=0.978for UV vs. temperature, and R^2=0.983for solar energy vs. temperature. These relationships confirm the physical coherence between solar radiation and environmental conditions, supporting predictive models of energy efficiency during spring. The study also discusses the implications of UV radiation for the Argentine population, considering the diversity of skin phototypes—from very fair skin in European descendants to darker tones in mestizo and Afro-descendant populations—and the elevated risk of skin cancer associated with unprotected exposure. By integrating science, energy, and health, this work proposes a transdisciplinary approach that links engineering, architecture, and medicine to understand spring as both a period of risk and opportunity.
