Sunburn isn’t just painful, it can also

damage your skin. So it’s handy to know

that you can work out when the sun is

strong with a quick look at your shadow,

according to Cancer Research UK. If it’s

shorter than you, the sun’s UV rays are

high – and that’s not just on hot days.

They can be high when it’s cloudy, too,

so it’s worth checking the UV forecast

at metoffice.gov.uk when it’s overcast to

see when to amp up your sun protection.

THROW SOME SHADE

Has Hayley’s fabulous floral cover
