Location & Climate

In Wye River, UV rises from 2 in June to 9 in January, with peak tanning months being January, February, December. The strongest UV occurs during the southern hemisphere summer months.

UV levels in this region are exceptionally high due to lower ozone concentrations. Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen and wear UV-protective clothing, even on partly cloudy days.

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.
