You need to check the sun protection times - even when it's overcast - as UV levels can be just as intense on a cool or cloudy day, as a scorching hot one.
Select to receive the alert at the time of your choice or at the exact time the UV is forecast to reach a level that can damage your skin and eyes.
Skin cancer is Australia's most prevalent cancer, but it is also one of the most preventable.
