☀️ Stay safe in the summer sun: Know the UV Index! ☀️

Available at weather.gc.ca or in our app, the UV Index tells you how strong the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays are.

The higher the UV index, the more the sun’s rays can harm your skin and eyes.
Sun safety is for everyone, kids and adults alike.

Protect your skin to reduce the risk of sunburn, eye problems, skin aging and skin cancer. Even when it's cloudy or mild weather, UV can cause burns.

Protect Yourself:

✅ Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every 2 hours and after swimming/sweating
✅ Wear a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing
✅ Seek shade during peak hours (UV exposure risk is highest from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.)

Enjoy the sunshine safely. 🌞
