North America spans a wide UV range from subtropical Florida to northern Canada. Seasons strongly influence tanning potential — summer months offer the best conditions across most of the continent.

Beach and coastal destinations benefit from cooling sea breezes, but UV reflected from water and sand can increase your total exposure by up to 25%. Apply sunscreen more frequently and protect your eyes.

During the peak tanning season, use SPF 30-50 depending on the time of day. In winter months, SPF 15-30 is usually sufficient for daily protection.
