Note: The UV index of 12 in April translates into these instructions:
Undertake every vital safety procedure, as unprotected skin and eyes could sustain burns in no time. 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. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation. Regularly apply and reapply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 every two hours, or straight after swimming or an outdoor activity. Caution! The mirror effect of sand and water ups the UV radiation strength.
