Did you know that Singapore experiences consistently high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation throughout the year? Living near the equator, we're often exposed to the sun's harmful rays, posing particular risks to individuals with fair skin. According to the National Environment Agency (NEA), when the UV Index reaches 11+ (Extreme), there's an alarming risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure, with fair-skinned individuals susceptible to burns in under 5 minutes.
That's where our Oh Sunny UV Test Card comes to your rescue. Starting July 1st, 2023, and available while stocks last, we're offering this invaluable companion with every purchase at Oh Sunny Singapore retail stores.
Decoding the UV Index
The Ultraviolet (UV) Index is the international standard for measuring UV radiation strength from the sun. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises protective measures when the UV Index reaches "Moderate" (3) or higher, indicating a moderate risk of harm from UV exposure. Our credit card-sized UV Test Card is your trusty companion for decoding UV radiation levels wherever you venture.
Here's how it works:
- Chase the Light: Whenever you're outdoors, simply place the measurement side of the UV Test Card towards the sun for 15 seconds.
- Color Clues: After this brief exposure, inspect the sensor on the card. The color change will help you gauge UV presence and intensity.
Armed with the UV Test Card, you can promptly assess UV levels and make informed decisions about your sun protection. If the UV Index signals "High" or "Extreme," it's your cue to take sun safety seriously – seek shade and don sun-protective clothing!
