Meanwhile, LOW TO MODERATE levels will persist in Northern Luzon due to heavy cloud cover associated with Typhoon Champi.

​EXPLANATION OF UV INDEX LEGEND
​🟣 Extreme (Violet): The highest threat level on the UV Index scale. Unprotected skin and eyes can burn or suffer damage within minutes of direct exposure.
🔴 High to Very High (Orange to Red): High risk of harm from sun exposure. Proper protection is required when spending time outdoors.
🟢🟡 Low to Moderate (Green to Yellow): Low to moderate UV radiation levels. Generally safe, but basic sun protection is still recommended around midday.

​💡 IMPORTANT WEATHER FACTS ABOUT UV RADIATION
​AIR TEMPERATURE DOES NOT EQUAL UV RADIATION:

Ambient temperature (heat or coolness felt) comes from Infrared Rays, while UV Radiation comes from Ultraviolet Rays. For instance, in cool places like Baguio or Benguet, the UV Index can still reach Very High to Extreme levels! Never rely solely on cool temperatures to skip sun protection.

​RAINFALL AND CLOUDS DO NOT BLOCK UV RAYS ENTIRELY:
UV rays pe*****te thin clouds and light rainshowers. As long as daylight is present between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, UV radiation remains active and elevated unless thick, dense storm clouds are present.

​RECOMMENDED HEALTH PRECAUTIONS
​▪️ Apply broad-spectrum Sunscreen (SPF 30+) at least 20 minutes before heading outdoors.
▪️ Use an umbrella, wear UV-blocking sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats, and long-sleeved clothing.
▪️ Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration and heat-related illnesses.
