My weather forecast predicts "Extreme" levels of ultraviolet over at least the next five days. Be very careful if you expose yourself to the sunlight, especially between 10:00 and 15:00.

As it's cloudy here, at this time, maybe I should have said that thin cloud hardly attenuates the UV and you can bronze/burn just as badly as if there were no clouds.

If I can save just one or two people from scorching themselves into hospital, member or not (which is totally irrelevant). Are you so selfish that you think you are the only person who needs reminding?

When rain showers are imminent you'll be telling us to take a brolly with us, just like forecasters in the UK do.
Then why not just say nothing and move on?

HIC you might not need someone to preempt you but I am sure there are others who welcome a reminder or to be fore warned

thanks, everyone, for your comments and approval. Occasionally, particularly when I measure weather phenomena , I feel that your opinions mean a lot to me. Today's concern is about dust and I am posing the question to myself whether the brilliance of the sun yesterday may be a partial root cause of the dust. see Dust storm

If you see people walking around like a cooked/boiled lobster a warning is absolutely necessary.

Thanks for posting Devil. Will increase the sun tan factor, and cut down the time outside in the sun.
