I don’t know why we were not taught about this growing up (nor why it is not included in Weather Forecasts), but as we in #NZ and the Southern Hemisphere come into #Summer, it is worth learning the meaning of the #UV Index. Just found the graphic below just now explaining the numbers!

I’ve found it helpful, not had a bad sunburn since I put it as a widget on my Apple Watch. #aotearoa #australia

An infographic detailing the UV Index categories:
low (1-2): no protection, unless outdoors for extended periods, or near reflective surfaces such as snow or water. 
Moderate and High (3-7):
Protection Required:
-Slip on clothing.
-Slop on sunscreen, use sun protection factor (SPF) 30 for adults and 50 for children.
-Slap on a wide brimmed hat.
HIGH
-Seek shade during midday hours.
-Slide on sunglasses, wraparound are best.
Very high to extreme (8 to 11+):
Extra Protection Required:
Avoid being outside during midday hours.
Make sure you seek shade.
Always wear sunscreen and protective clothing
i.e.: shirt, hat, and sunglasses.

Bright sun and nature-themed design elements are included.
