Note: A maximum UV index of 9 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Ensure you're always protected. Unprotected skin can get damaged in moments. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ should be used liberally and reapplied every two hours or post an outdoor workout or swim. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
