When the UV hits 3 or above you need to be SunSmart | Cancer Council
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the major cause of skin cancer. You can’t see or feel UV radiation and UV levels can be high on cool and overcast days. You can’t rely on clear skies or high temperatures to determine when to protect yourself from the sun.
When the UV gets to 3 or above, you need to be SunSmart – slip, slop, slap, seek and slide – because the higher the UV the greater your risk of sunburn and skin cancer.
You can find the UV Index at https://www.myuv.com.au/ or by downloading Cancer Council’s free SunSmart app – it’s a great way to check the UV Index when you are out and about.
Whether you are at work, home or on the move, you can easily check the times of the day when sun protection is needed.
Check the UV and stay SunSmart.
