New UV Alert a reminder to keep safe from the sun

The Bureau of Meteorology now includes ultra violet alerts in selected
weather forecasts around Australia in a bid to increase community awareness
of the risks posed by exposure to ultra violet radiation from the sun.
Existing forecasts which include a UV Index will now include an indication of
the time of day that a UV Alert is in force.
For instance: UV Index: 10 [Very high] UV Alert between 9.30am and 5.30pm
According to the Assistant Minister for the Environment and Water Resources,
the Hon John Cobb MP, the expanded alert is timely considering that
Australia is the skin cancer capital of the world.
“These new warnings are a timely reminder to the Australian community to be
SunSmart, and to protect themselves from the sun during the most dangerous
part of the day,” Mr Cobb said.
UV Alerts are available in newspapers and some television and radio
broadcasts. They are also available in a range of forecasts issued via the
Bureau website at www.bom.gov.au
