Why Weather Matters for Sun Protection

While temperature and weather conditions don't directly correlate with UV levels, they can affect how we experience sun exposure:

  • Cloud cover: Light cloud cover only blocks about 20% of UV radiation, giving a false sense of safety
  • Wind and cool temperatures: Can mask the sensation of getting sunburned while UV rays continue to damage skin
  • Humidity: High humidity can accelerate sunscreen breakdown, requiring more frequent reapplication
  • Reflective surfaces: Water, sand, and snow can reflect UV radiation, increasing exposure
