In the next seven days, Cambodia will be exposed to dangerous levels of UV radiation.

[ASEAN NOW]

The Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology (MOWRAM) has issued a public health notice, stating that dangerous levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation are expected to exceed level 10, the UV Index alert level.

 

The ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that the high level of UV radiation will last from Aug. 18 to 24, and that it will be damaging to people, animals, and plants' health.

 

According to the source, UV radiation will be at its greatest between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

 

According to the notification, MOWRAM has been closely monitoring this natural phenomenon and is urging the public to be more vigilant.

 

The ultraviolet index (UVI) is an international standard measurement of the level of UV radiation at a specific location and time, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

 

The UVI scale runs from zero to one hundred; the higher the UVI, the greater the risk of skin and eye damage, and the shorter the time it takes for injury to occur. AKP

The abstract of this is no more than saying: the sun reaches it's zenith.

But please, this happens all over the subcontinent at this time.

Whether UV wil actually burn depends on the weather/clouds of course.
