I must admit I did wonder whether I should put some suncream on when I was out yesterday as the sun was beating down, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was really hot (well, for this time of year - 18 degrees!) I didn't manage to see much sun in the end though....

Just remember even on a cloudy day around 80% is still coming through the clouds.

I have to say you are the first person ive ever met who got sun burnt in the english winter. :lol:

Well, just for some moral support Phil, I'll admit that I got quite badly sunburnt on my face last easter hol. I surfed for about 6 hours without wearing suncream and it was actually cloudy too! :roll:

I was really surprised!

I used to get the best tan lines ever. In the spring when it would get sunny alot more. You go out skiing for a whole day, and you never think about needing sun screen when you are downhill skiing. Well you get a wicked goggle tan...Never burnt, but had a wicked tan all year cus of how fast you can go from beach weather, to skii weather in the mountains.

I either use factor 30, all year, or get burned here:(

Fair skin, no ozone, closer to the Equator = scary sun levels.

Have you ever gotten sunburn inside your nostrils because of the reflection of the snow? That's not good, luckily I haven't suffered that too much, but I have some friends that have gotten it bad.

If I'm surfing at any time of the year I wear sunscreen......or I need to wear sunscreen. The amount of sunscreen put on is inversly proportional to the wave quality :lol:

It was 35 (about 1-2) this morning, and it's supposed to be 82 (28) on wednesday!! :shock:

I've got a feeling we're in for a HOT summer. YAY!

by **pault** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 7:53 pm

well that could mean lingering high pressure and prolonged flat spells

I think we're gonna have a hot summer with a high pressure firmly in charge over europe, but with an unusually vigorous set of pressure systems stuck in the atlantic sending a consistent run of 15s waves at the UK coast from May to September (when hurricane season begins).

Honest...
