Do you want to know what people are talking about in those places on the planet where the weather is never a topic of conversation, and phenologists would not live even a month? Then go to...

San Diego (California, USA)

For a person far from the USA, all of California may be associated with beautiful weather, but this is not true - the weather in California is very different. And it is ideal in San Diego, where the temperature in winter is about 13 degrees Celsius, and in summer, on average, around 22 degrees. And even there, if there is a famous California fog, it dissipates extremely quickly, according to Day.Az with reference to Fishki.

Malaga (Spain)

If continental Europe is closer to you, then in Spanish Malaga, which is on the coast mediterranean sea, one of the warmest winters in Europe - about 12 degrees, on average. True, in summer it can be a little hot there (up to 44 degrees with an average temperature in July around 30 degrees), but it’s still old light rather than distant islands.

Canary Islands (Spain)

Yes, islands. For example, Canaries. They are close enough to the equator that it is quite hot there ... if it were not for the winds and currents that make the air temperature much more pleasant than you would expect from areas near the Sahara Desert. The average temperature there all year round around 22 degrees. In winter, it fluctuates between 10 and 25 degrees, and in summer - 20-33. As for us, this is almost ideal.

Sydney, Australia)

How much do you think the average sunny days happens in Australian Sydney? 340 - that's how much. The best time there is during spring (which starts in November) and during the summer in Australia it can get quite hot, so being close to the beach is not a luxury but a necessity.

Loja (Ecuador)

If there is a place on the equator where perfect weather, so this is Loja, a small (130 thousand people) town in Ecuador. It is located in the mountains (2.4 thousand meters), which is why the climate there is mild all year round, without the deadly heat in summer and cold nights in winter. The average annual temperature fluctuates around 22 degrees Celsius.

Oahu (Hawaii, USA)

Returning to the theme of the islands - Hawaii is perhaps the most civilized place in pacific ocean(because the United States), however, contrary to popular belief, the sun does not always shine there. Oahu is an exception to this rule - there maximum amount sunny days a year, so if you are going to Hawaii for your honeymoon, you know which island to choose.

Nice (France)

There is a good reason why Nice is one of the key destinations Cote d'Azur- weather. Unlike other Mediterranean cities, Nice receives very little rainfall throughout the year (there is almost no rain in summer, but in autumn, especially in October, there can be a lot). At the same time, even in the summer it is almost never really hot in the city - the thermometer does not exceed the mark of 30 degrees every day, and not even every other day.

The hot summer season is rapidly approaching, and with it the time of holidays. Already today, many are beginning to prepare for the long-awaited vacation: they are looking through travel brochures, compiling travel itineraries, and issuing visas.

And if someone for some reason summer vacation“does not shine”, you should not despair, because there are many countries on the planet where you can go to relax and soak up the sun at any time of the year and tell the locals about what they have never seen in their lives - about snow, fur coats and even umbrellas. It's about about places where summer "reigns" all year round with the most comfortable climate for relax.

So, we look and envy those whose summer never ends, and where all year round they are happy to see tourists from different corners the globe.

We have long suspected that Rihanna's songs raise the mood and temperature for a reason. It's all about the birthplace of the singer - the island of Barbados. The temperature here almost does not change all year round (even boring!): air - 24-27 degrees, water - 25-28 degrees. It is believed that the local climate is the key to longevity. After all, it was in Barbados that the second longest-lived man on Earth lived - James Sisnett, who at one time managed to celebrate his 113th birthday.

Talking about the weather in the Seychelles is an absolutely useless exercise. And what can we talk about if all year round the thermometer is 27 degrees Celsius. The locals will enthusiastically tell you what exactly is on Seychelles The Garden of Eden was where Adam ate the forbidden fruit. Looking at the ever-blooming gardens and birds of all stripes that flock here for the winter, I really want to believe in this legend.

In the lexicon of the inhabitants of Thai Koh Chang (in translation - "Isle of Elephants"), 30 kilometers long, there are only three words for designating the seasons: "hot", "rainy" and "cool". “Cool”, so you understand, is about 28 degrees above zero. Great alternative to Pattaya and Phuket.

Cape Verde

Once upon a time, slaves were sold on the main pirate island in the world, today all people come here quite voluntarily and dream of staying here forever. Dry tropical climate Cape Verde provides a pleasant 25 degrees all year round. The change of seasons here looks like this: from summer to summer. The only difference is that from October to June, the harmattan wind blows here, which brings with it dust from the Sahara.

If we take the concept of “eternal heat” for summer, then the branch of hell on earth is the Ethiopian Dallol Valley, named after a local dormant volcano and an ancient abandoned settlement. According to the Guinness Book of Records, this is the hottest place on Earth with an absolute record average annual temperature at +34 ºC. The local landscapes look impressive: salts of potassium, manganese, iron wash hot springs to the surface and paint the territory in all the colors of the rainbow. According to astrologers, Io, the satellite of Jupiter, looks about the same.

We cheated a little by adding our favorite Tenerife and Gran Canaria to the summer selection. The Canary Islands in Spain are called the "islands of eternal spring" with temperatures ranging from 20-25 degrees. But why do we need a stuffy summer, if you swim, sunbathe, enjoy natural beauties and walking fashionable sundresses is possible in a more temperate and pleasant climate?

It was not by chance that world celebrities made from the area in South Florida - a big " suburban village". Run away from here heavy rains, snowfalls, slush or morning frost available on any of the 365 days of the year. The most absurd gift that can be presented to the locals is a hat and gloves. Better stock up on a couple of T-shirts and shorts and good cream from sunburn.

In the Latin American media and TV series, the famous Chilean resort consistently ranks first in the ratings of the "most the best places for life in terms of climate. It is called “ideal” for its year-round 24 degrees of heat, mild Pacific winds and romantic fogs. The only clarification, as in the old joke: only the “top layer of people” is sunbathing here.

You can imagine how monotonous and economical the wardrobe of the inhabitants of the Colombian coast looks: shorts-t-shirts-shorts-t-shirts-shorts-t-shirts. But how to live differently if outside the window is always (!) 35 degrees and palm trees. It is amazing that it is worth driving a few hours to the Colombian capital of Bogota by car, and you will find yourself in one of the rainiest and grayest cities on the planet. Locals give each other for all holidays - a new umbrella.

Most fast way keep warm in bad weather - see a selection of photos of the island of Tahiti. It gets warmer instantly. Find 10 differences between frames taken in different months, almost impossible.

The sun is the source of life on the planet. Its rays give the necessary light and warmth. At the same time, ultraviolet radiation from the Sun is detrimental to all living things. To find a compromise between useful and harmful properties Sun, meteorologists calculate the index of ultraviolet radiation, which characterizes the degree of its danger.

What UV radiation from the sun is

The ultraviolet radiation of the Sun has a wide range and is divided into three regions, two of which reach the Earth.

  • UV-A. Longwave radiation range
    315–400 nm

    The rays pass almost freely through all atmospheric "barriers" and reach the Earth.

  • UVB. Medium wave radiation range
    280–315 nm

    The rays are 90% absorbed by the ozone layer, carbon dioxide and water vapor.

  • UVC. Shortwave radiation range
    100–280 nm

    The most dangerous area. They are completely absorbed by stratospheric ozone without reaching the Earth.

The more ozone, clouds and aerosols in the atmosphere, the less the harmful effect of the Sun. However, these saving factors have a high natural variability. The annual maximum of stratospheric ozone occurs in spring, and the minimum - in autumn. Cloud cover is one of the most variable weather characteristics. The content of carbon dioxide also changes all the time.

At what values ​​of the UV index is there a danger

The UV index gives an estimate of the amount of UV radiation from the Sun on the Earth's surface. UV index values ​​range from safe 0 to extreme 11+.

  • 0–2 Low
  • 3–5 Moderate
  • 6–7 High
  • 8–10 Very high
  • 11+ Extreme

In mid-latitudes, the UV index approaches unsafe values ​​(6–7) only at the maximum height of the Sun above the horizon (occurs in late June - early July). At the equator, during the year, the UV index reaches 9...11+ points.

What is the benefit of the sun

In small doses, UV radiation from the Sun is essential. The sun's rays synthesize melanin, serotonin, vitamin D, necessary for our health, and prevent rickets.

Melanin creates a kind of protective barrier for skin cells from the harmful effects of the sun. Because of it, our skin darkens and becomes more elastic.

Happiness hormone serotonin affects our well-being: it improves mood and increases overall vitality.

Vitamin D strengthens the immune system, stabilizes blood pressure and performs anti-rickets functions.

Why is the sun dangerous?

When sunbathing, it is important to understand that the line between beneficial and harmful Sun is very thin. Excessive sunburn always borders on a burn. UV radiation damages DNA in skin cells.

The body's defense system cannot cope with such an aggressive impact. This lowers the immune system, damages the retina, causes skin aging and can lead to cancer.

Ultraviolet destroys the DNA chain

How does the sun affect people?

Susceptibility to UV radiation depends on skin type. The most sensitive to the Sun are people of the European race - for them, protection is required already at an index of 3, and 6 is considered dangerous.

At the same time, for Indonesians and African Americans, this threshold is 6 and 8, respectively.

Who is affected the most by the Sun?

    people with light
    skin tone

    People with many moles

    Residents of the middle latitudes while relaxing in the south

    winter lovers
    fishing

    Skiers and climbers

    People who have family history skin cancer

In what weather is the sun most dangerous

The fact that the Sun is dangerous only in hot and clear weather is a common misconception. You can also get burned in cool cloudy weather.

Cloudiness, no matter how dense it may be, does not at all reduce the amount of ultraviolet to zero. In mid-latitudes, cloudiness significantly reduces the risk of sunburn, which cannot be said about traditional places. beach holiday. For example, in the tropics, if in sunny weather you can get burned in 30 minutes, then in cloudy weather - in a couple of hours.

How to protect yourself from the sun

To protect yourself from harmful rays, follow these simple rules:

    Get less exposure to the Sun during the midday hours

    Wear light-colored clothing, including wide-brimmed hats

    Use protective creams

    Wear sunglasses

    Stay in the shade more on the beach

Which sunscreen to choose

Sunscreen differs in the degree of protection from the Sun and is marked from 2 to 50+. The numbers represent the share solar radiation, which overcomes the protection of the cream and reaches the skin.

For example, when applying a cream labeled 15, only 1/15 (or 7%) of the UV rays will penetrate the protective film. In the case of cream 50, only 1/50, or 2%, affects the skin.

Sunscreen creates a reflective layer on the body. However, it is important to understand that no cream is capable of reflecting 100% of ultraviolet light.

For everyday use, when the time spent under the Sun does not exceed half an hour, a cream with protection 15 is quite suitable. For tanning on the beach, it is better to take 30 and above. However, for fair-skinned people, it is recommended to use a cream labeled 50+.

How to apply sunscreen

The cream should be applied evenly to all exposed skin, including the face, ears and neck. If you plan to sunbathe for a long time, then the cream should be applied twice: 30 minutes before going out and, additionally, before going to the beach.

Please refer to the cream instructions for how much to apply.

How to apply sunscreen while swimming

Sunscreen should be applied every time after bathing. Water washes away the protective film and, reflecting the sun's rays, increases the dose of ultraviolet radiation received. Thus, when bathing, the risk of burning increases. However, due to the cooling effect, you may not feel the burn.

Excessive sweating and rubbing with a towel is also a reason to re-protect the skin.

It should be remembered that on the beach, even under an umbrella, the shade does not provide full protection. Sand, water, and even grass reflect up to 20% of UV rays, increasing their impact on the skin.

How to protect your eyes

sunlight, reflected from water, snow or sand, can cause a painful burn of the retina. Use sunglasses with an ultraviolet filter to protect your eyes.

Danger for skiers and climbers

In the mountains, the atmospheric "filter" is thinner. For every 100 meters of altitude, the UV index increases by 5%.

Snow reflects up to 85% of UV rays. In addition, up to 80% of the ultraviolet reflected by the snow cover is again reflected by the clouds.

Thus, in the mountains, the Sun is most dangerous. Protect your face lower part chin and ears are necessary even in cloudy weather.

How to deal with sunburn if you are burned

    Treat the body with a damp sponge to wet the burn

    Lubricate the burnt areas with anti-burn cream

    If the temperature rises, consult a doctor, you may be advised to take an antipyretic

    If the burn is severe (skin is very swollen and blisters), seek medical attention.
