The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation
is the major cause of skin cancer
and the best natural source
of vitamin D.
UV can’t be seen or felt and can
be damaging even on cool or
cloudy days.
The sun protection times indicate
when the UV is forecast to reach
3 and above – the level that can
damage skin and eyes and
increase your risk of skin cancer.
