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
