📊 UNDERSTANDING THE UV INDEX LEGEND
🟣 Extreme (Violet): Unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes. Avoid outdoor exposure during midday hours. SPF 50+, hats, sunglasses, and umbrellas are strictly required.
🔴/🟠 High to Very High (Red to Orange): Protection is highly necessary. Reduce time in the sun between 10 AM and 4 PM. Seek shade and apply sunscreen regularly.
🟡/🟢 Low to Moderate (Yellow to Green): Safe for most people, but standard sun safety (like wearing a hat or light long sleeves) is still recommended for prolonged outdoor stays.
💡 CRITICAL UV FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW
▪️ Temperature does NOT equal UV intensity!
Actual air temperature has zero connection to Ultraviolet (UV) radiation. For instance, Baguio City can experience cool, chilly weather, yet sit comfortably under a Very High or Extreme UV Index. Do not let a cold breeze fool you; the sun's rays can still damage your skin significantly at high altitudes or during cool seasons.
▪️ Rain and clouds do NOT block UV radiation!
Rainy weather or overcast skies do not mean you are safe from UV rays. Clouds only block a fraction of visible sunlight, but up to 80% of invisible UV radiation can still pe*****te through cloud cover and mist. Sun protection is a daily necessity, whether it is sunny, cloudy, or raining.
