Note: The UV index of 10 during July translates into the following guidance:
Take special precautions, as unprotected eyes and skin can be burned and damaged quickly. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Use liberally and reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every two hours, or straight away after any outdoor workout or swim. Beware! The reflection of water and sand dramatically increases exposure to the UV rays.
