Location & Climate

In Yokohama, UV rises from 2 in January to 9 in June, with peak tanning months being June, July, August. Expect the strongest sun between late spring and early fall.

UV levels vary significantly by season. Summer months bring high UV that requires careful protection, while winter UV is generally low enough for minimal concern.

Urban areas may experience higher apparent temperatures due to the heat island effect. Seek parks or waterfront areas for a more comfortable tanning session and better air circulation.

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.
