Allen Ginsing Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 A number of people (including myself) been severely burned by the sun in the last few days. It seems that there is an extreme UV risk at the moment. http://www.meteovista.com/Asia/Thailand/Sunpower-Krabi/3288330 Burn very quickly. Hat, sunscreen and keep out of the sun 10-4 recommenced.

Allen Ginsing Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) I wish, i've been room bound for 2 days with sun stroke. Also meet a few other with the same red, bewildered face. Edited September 10, 2017 by Allen Ginsing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Oh.....read the thread title in a hurry and only noticed key words : ' hole, opens, Thailand ' and out of habit clicked to investigate. Still......now I'm here I'll say that it is always wise to treat the power of the sun with respect. Had a couple of friends develop skin cancer here from going around in shorts and sleeveless t shirts all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDfella Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I would think if there had been an ozone hole then no doubt there would have been warnings not only in Thailand but for tourists too. Maybe the OP has read about the very active Sun flares of late which has sent intensive streams of radiation/particles towards Earth. Aurora is expected to be increased in the coming days and maybe some satellite disruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either a pipe dream that somebody in the tourist Ministry would recommend something of simple warning for a bit of positive PR to attract expected trillions from the industry, or a drunken stupor..

Ha! Yes I've seen that film too. Fortunately at present the Earth's magnetic field is able to to cope. But, like all stars, the Sun is very active and not necessarily as stable as once thought. We just hope that scientific predictions are correct and will be fairly stable for the next few billion years...scientists have been known to be wrong though....Ha!
