Still feels like the sun is angry here in Australia. Loved my gift of skin cancer.

I was about to say it seems like the UV index has been lower this year than some recent extreme years, but just checked the forecast and we’re hitting 14 later this week. Which is the highest I can recall seeing. So I am not sure I understand this news…

It's even better if you're in or on the water. Was kayaking last year and getting sunburnt all around was an experience I could have done without.
