If you use the SunSmart app as religiously as I do, you’ll see the UV hits 14 quite often in summer! At the moment, it’s saying it will be 14 again on Sunday and Monday.

Highest UV index ever recorded was 43+ at the top of a volcano in Bolivia… So…

Actual measured UV in Sydney is tracking a bit below the estimates. Highest so far today is 12.1
Australia is the reason why the scale even goes that high.

Made sure to use sunscreen today. It’s beyond necessary on this sort of day.
But yeah, it’ll be high UV tomorrow too, despite the cooler temps. A lot of people (myself included) often forget that sun danger exists on 20 degree days just like it does 40 degrees. Stay safe!

How long do you think it’d take to get your daily Vitamin D intake? 2 minutes?

Can I ask where would one encounter this?
Like does this mean ‘anywhere’ there’s sun today? Because a lot of folks are out going to shops to cool down and there’s bound to be a 5min walk to the shops where they are being slapped by the sun.

Does staying underwater provide any UV protection?

Be sure to watch out for elderly that have collapsed from heatstroke as well, I always find a few lying on the floor every summer.

Tbh, I haven’t seen the UV that high since the fires in 2020.

You could get a perfect pork belly crackling if you left it outside.

No different if it’s a heat wave or a normal clear sky summer day.
