Antigua and Barbuda has entered its Extreme UV Radiation Season (March–September), with UV Index (UVI) levels frequently exceeding 11, posing serious health risks, including skin cancer, eye damage, and premature aging.
Prolonged UVA and UVB exposure can lead to sunburn, weakened immunity, and heat-related illnesses. Those most at risk include children, outdoor workers, individuals with fair skin or a history of skin cancer, and people with darker skin, who remain vulnerable to UV damage.
- Wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses
- Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen regularly
- Seek shade between 10 AM and 4 PM
- Avoid tanning beds
- Monitor the daily UV Index
With UV levels peaking at 13 in April, residents and visitors are urged to take precautions to minimize sun-related health risks.
