Sunlight is the main source of UV radiation, even though UV rays make up only a small portion of the sun’s rays. The strength of the UV rays reaching the ground depends on a number of factors, such as: • Time of day • Season of the year • Altitude: More UV rays reach the ground at higher elevations. • Clouds: The effect of clouds can vary, but what’s important to know is that UV rays can get through to the ground, even on a cloudy day. FACT: Most sunscreens don't last more than 2 hours! When you're out in the sun during these summer months, remember to reapply!

Screening increases the chances of finding certain cancers early, when they are small, have not spread, and might be easier to treat. If you don’t have a doctor, there are things you can do and places you can call to find out how to get the screening tests you need. Read more at the link in bio.
