Protect yourself from the sun's dangers.

The sun’s UV rays can cause sunburn and skin damage
in as little as 15 minutes, while making you more susceptible to dehydration and heat related illness, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Populations especially vulnerable to heat impacts include those who are pregnant, newborns, children, the elderly, and people with chronic medical conditions

The sun is also a cause of skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the United States,.
