Note: In January, the maximum UV index of 12 suggests this advice:
Undertake every vital safety procedure, as unprotected skin and eyes could sustain burns in no time. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes. Even on a cloudy day, a sunscreen with at least a 30 SPF should be applied generously and frequently reapplied, including after a swim or outdoor exercise. Heads up! Sand and water reflection magnifies the UV exposure from the Sun.
