Forecast for the summer.
Last Monday was the first day of summer and happily in the next two months there will not be excessive rain. Meteorological Specialist Mario Bidegain told Montevideo Portal that in the south the temperatures will average between 16 and 27ºC. The north of Uruguay will have an average of 30º but not higher tan 34ºC.
In spite of this there is still the possibility of heat and cold waves, as is normal in a country with our climatic characteristics. Bidegain recommends taking vacations in January if possible, since it is a more stable period than February.
Tips for protection in the summer.
The honorary commission against cancer recommends special care when going to the beach or when having a greater exposure to the sun. Here are some tips for the protection of your skin.
-Try to avoid direct exposure to the sun between 10am and 4pm and reduce exposure time to the least minimum amount.
-Try to stay out of the sun when the shadow of your body is smaller than your actual height.
-Even in cloudy, cool or windy days which give a false sense of protection it is also necessary to have UV protection since the rays go through the clouds and reflect on the sand and water.
-At all times it's necessary to use dark colored clothes that cover shoulders arms and legs. Use hats and UV filter sunglasses and high factor sun cream.
-The sun cream used should protect from UV-A and UV —B radiations and should be chosen according to the type of skin.
-For highly allergic or sensitive skins, it's important to use filters that don't contain a substance named PABA
-Consume lots of liquids, fruits and vegetables.
-Check your skin for new moles, blemishes or warts, changes in color, growth, itching or bleeding of blemishes or warts or moles
-If you have any doubts about these changes in your skin, consult a doctor immediately.
