With mainly sunny skies expected across the region for Tuesday, the UV Index is forecasted to be in the High and Very High categories. The highest UV Index is expected to be 9, which will be in Windsor and Chatham.
Ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause sunburns, skin cancer and eye cataracts.
The higher the UV Index, the stronger the sun’s rays, meaning you need to take more precautions to protect your skin. The sun is at it’s peak between 10 AM and 4 PM. Ensure you wear sunscreen and cover up with a hat and sunglasses.
When the UV Index is 3 or higher, protect your skin as much as possible!
