    My neck went an even deeper shade of dark red than usual. Everywhere else is still at the pasty status quo.

    I burn quite easily from about 15ºC and clear skies. It's really not that unusual for fair skin.

    thought so, the OP problem was assuming 100% of people are the same and so suggested that you needed to be wearing sunscreen not to burn.

    crap pole OP

    for us not so daylight challenged people

    You have heard of UVA, UVB?
    You have seen arctic explorers wearing heavy sunscreen?

    all explained here, never knew that

    Sun's UV rays 'more dangerous in snow than on the beach'
    The sun's ultraviolet rays are 2.5 times more dangerous in snow than on the beach
    , according to a new Japanese study.

    Skiers could be affected by the findings of the study

    Scientists found that human eyes were more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing on the slopes in snow-covered areas compared to sitting on the beach.
    The study examined the effects of light reflection on freshly fallen snow on a cross country ski trail in Ishikawa Prefecture, northern Japan.
    The results were compared with the levels of UV rays on an artificial sand beach in southern Japan's tropical Okinawa Prefecture.
    Scientists used two mannequin heads facing different directions and fitted with UV sensors embedded in their eyes to measure the precise impact of the sun's rays from dawn to sunset on both locations.
    The study - conducted by academics from Kanazawa Medical University and pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson – found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules of UV per square metre compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.
    Hiroshi Sasaki, the ophthalmology professor behind the study, highlighted the importance of using goggles rather than sunglasses to protect the eyes in snow-covered areas.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭hoodwinked


    where is the option in the poll for 'I haven't seen the sun yet'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 378 ✭✭Catphish


    I hid from the sun today, it kills me. I give out about the sun, wind, rain, snow and hail equally. Anybody living in this country has the god given right to give out about our schizo weather.

    You need at least 3 seasons worth of clothes packed to leave the fucking house.
