The sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the root cause of most skin cancers. Follow these 3 simple steps to practice sun safety:
🌞 Seek shade when appropriate
🌞 Wear sun-protective clothing
🌞 Apply a broad-spectrum, water- resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30+

Unfortunately, the hot and humid weather continues for at least a few more days. Relief is in store for Sunday but only slightly. Bottom line, continue to practice heat safety, limit afternoon outdoor activities and drink plenty of water. #kswx #HeatSafety
