• The sun’s rays are generally strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p in. Whenever possible •'play in the shade or plan outdoor activities at a different time.
• Even though cloudy days it makes us feel cooler, the sun’s harmful rays continue to come through the clouds and burn our skin. 1 • About 80 percent skin cancers could be prevented by protecting our skin by remembering some “Sun Basics”:
