July 20, 2026 | Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you’re swimming, biking, gardening, walking, or playing sports, spending time outside is a great way to stay active, reduce stress, and improve your overall well-being. As you enjoy the sunshine, it's important to take steps to protect yourself from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. The sun emits UV rays, a type of radiation that can damage skin cells. UV rays are present even on cloudy or cool days and can reflect off surfaces such as water, sand, concrete, and snow.
