Note: The UV index of 12 during October leads to these advisories:
Carry out every crucial safety measure. People with fair skin may sustain burns in fewer than 5 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen must be generously applied and reapplied every two hours or post any outdoor activity or swim. Warning! Reflective surfaces like sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
