Burn, baby, burn!

Is it true that UV rays are more powerful on cloudy days?  Apparently so [1].  Weird.

I absolutely have to check out that page. I’ve experienced worse all-over burns on slightly cloudy or hazy days, partly because it’s too easy to think there’s no need for shade or sunscreen.

I think that’s a huge factor (“It’s cloudy / not hot / no sunscreen needed”), but according to the page, there’s an actual harmful difference in UV levels as well.

The difference between UV-A and UV-B is important to understand. [3]… Well sorta. He more or less went into the new FDA system, but still there is some good info.
