Remember your suncream!

Friday 10 April 2015

The temperature hit a glorious 20 degrees yesterday, and it should be another beautiful day today.

The thermometer should hit 18 degrees today, although it could be a little more cloudy in the afternoon.

There’s a risk of showers on Saturday, and although the sun will be poking its head out over the weekend, it’s not going to hit the same temperatures as yesterday.

But Islanders who get out and about in the sun this weekend should still take some precautions – the Met Office warned earlier this week that sun cream was a must.

The UV Index is expected to hit five tomorrow, and they say that people should be wearing suncream.

Duty Forecaster Peter Munns said: “At the moment we’ve got decreased ozone in the atmosphere, what that does is absorbs a lot of ultraviolet light which is the stuff that burns us and makes us go brown, it’s at a minimum amount so the UV is elevated from what we’d expect at this time of year.”
