The UV index is not the warm sensation of sunlight on bare skin
- 13 Jul, 2026 The warmth of sunlight is not a reliable indicator of how quickly you will sunburn in a given situation.
- On one hand, you can still get sunburned on a cooler cloudy day, while on the other hand, the sun can feel scorching hot on your skin in the morning and yet you won't sunburn (very quickly).
- You probably knew this already, but it still feels unintuitive to me.
