I think there should be regs about making UV and recommended sun protection hours more prominent on the news and on websites and apps.

It feels like the average person doesn't know the UV index that day, or even what is considered high (or even what UV index even is), and people still believe the myth that it's correlated with how hot it is.

Spring is the worst time, because UV is quite high, and it's not that hot yet.
