Note: The daily maximum UV index of 9 in August interprets into the following advice:
Be proactive in protecting yourself; skin and eyes can be harmed if left unprotected. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays. Before stepping out, consider using a sunscreen with 30 SPF or more. Especially if you're one to burn easily, avoid prolonged sun exposure.
