Your Holidays Planner

Heading for a tropical holiday or mountains getaway? Remember, UV radiation is most intense between 11 am and 4 pm regardless of the season. High altitude in the mountains makes UV radiation more intense.

This does not mean your holiday should be spoilt, because you do not want to get sunburnt. Plan a sun smart holiday. You can enjoy many fun indoors activities during the peak UV radiation times. It could be a relaxation in a spa, or a massage, entertainment shows, high tea concerts, cooking classes, wine tasting, gym sessions or yoga classes. If you travel with kids, there should be plenty to do indoors for all groups of children.

Best time to enjoy outdoors are mornings and late afternoons, still sun protection measures are required if the UV index is 3 and above. Middays are for relaxation, fitness and learning.

Enjoy your holidays.
