As spring progresses, the UV Index climbs higher in the scale. As from Sunday 12/04, it will be at level 8. This is considered to be ‘Very High’. A UV index reading of 8 to 10 indicates a very high risk of harm from unprotected exposure to the Sun. You should take extra precautions because unprotected skin and eyes will be damaged and could burn quickly. It is advised that you minimise exposure to the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If extremely essential to be outdoors; seek shade and wear Sun protective clothing. These include a wide-brimmed hat, UV-blocking sunglasses and SPF 30+ sunscreen. Bright surfaces, such as sand and water, will increase UV exposure.
Hekk kif is-sajf joqrob ġmielu, l-Indiċi UV tibda tiela. Minn nhar il-Ħadd 12/04, din se tkun fil-livell 8. Din hija kkunsidrata ‘Għolja Ħafna’. Indiċi UV minn 8 sa 10 tindika riskju għoli ħafna ta’ ħsara minn espożizzjoni diretta għax-xemx. Għandek tieħu prekawzzjonijiet addizzjonali biex tevita ħsara lil ġilda u għajnejn. Inti għandek, jekk inhu possibbli, tnaqqas il-ħin li tqatta fix-xemx bejn 10 a.m. u 4 p.m. Jekk ma tistax tagħmel mod ieħor; fittex li toqgħod fid-dell kull x’ħin tista u ara li tilbes ilbies li joffri protezzjoni mix-xemx. Dawn jinkludu beritta/kappell, nuċċali tax-xemx li jilqa għal UV u sunscreen SPF 30+. Uċuħ jgħajjtu bħal ramel u ilma iżidu l-qawwi ta’ l-UV.
