Comments on: New UV Index Reading Helps Protect From Sun https://bernews.com/2014/08/new-uv-index-reading-helps-protect-from-sun/ Bermuda's #1 source for 24/7 breaking news, photos & videos Sun, 12 Apr 2026 10:01:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.7.5 By: Longtail https://bernews.com/2014/08/new-uv-index-reading-helps-protect-from-sun/#comment-2529861 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 06:48:54 +0000 http://bernews.com/?p=313068#comment-2529861 A step in the right direction, but almost useless information. Instead of saying, for instance, that the UV index will be 10 today, the index should be tabulated so that Bermudians know at what hours they will need to be extra careful: the UV index will NOT be 10 at 7:00 AM, but it may well be during the hours of say 1:00 – 4:00 PM. The UV index is important to know, but PLEASE present the information in a meaningful format!!!

When I was a kid and there wasn’t any knowledge of this stuff and the ozone layer hadn’t yet been decimated by CFCs the older folks would always say that even on a cloudy day in Bermuda you could still get a serious sunburn .

Well , last Tuesday when it was heavy overcast all day and we got about 2.75” of rain the UV index was 11 .
