As the heatwave continues in Murcia there have been some reports of sunstroke. It is important to take precautions in the sun particularly for those who are not used to such conditions. Here are some tips to stay safe:
• Try to limit the amount of time you spend in the sun during peak temperature times between 12 and 4pm. You will be surprised at how quickly you can burn. For fair skinned people it could take less than ten minutes.
• Sun protective clothing is something worth considering. These are available with UV protection ratings of between fifteen and fifty.
• Hats are a good idea preferably something with a wide brim. These can offer excellent protection for sensitive areas such as the ears and neck.
• Considering how hot it is in Murcia at the moment many experts are recommending sun cream with a factor of at least thirty. This should be put on around every two hours when out in the sun. A water resistant cream is a good idea.
• Be active and move about as regularly during the day. This will be good for getting an overall tan rather than possibly getting burnt in certain places.
