What are UV levels and how can you protect yourself?
This article explains ultraviolet (UV) radiation, noting that while it supports vitamin D production essential for bone and immune health, excessive exposure raises skin cancer risk, accelerates skin aging, and causes eye issues like cataracts. It highlights unusually high UV levels in the UK for the time of year, outlines the global UV Index scale, and shares expert guidance from the NHS and dermatologists on sun protection—including using SPF 30+ sunscreen, reapplying regularly, and avoiding tanning, with reminders that all skin types are vulnerable even on cool or cloudy days.
