Note: In April, the maximum UV index of 10 translates into these guidelines:
Be constantly cautious; skin and eyes can be quickly affected if left unprotected. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage. 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. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
