Undertake all critical precautions. Protection from sun harm is vital. 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. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Despite the overcast weather, sunscreen with SPF of at least 30 should be applied liberally and reapplied often, particularly after swimming or an outdoor workout. Notice! The Sun's UV exposure elevates with sand and water reflections.
