There's another heatwave on the way and, while it's great news for families who want to get out in the sun, it's more important than ever to make sure our kids are cool and topped up with suncream. Don't be fooled by cloud. Getting sunburnt doesn't just happen on the hottest days – you can still get burnt when it's cloudy.A key priority for skin cancer prevention technology should be to understand the factors that reduce the incidence of sunburn. In our study, 31% of the participants reported one or more sunburns during the festival, which is similar to previous estimates showing 26% of Australian adolescents aged 12-17 years reported being sunburnt on summer weekends [ 39]. Many participants in this study reporting sunburns also reported wearing and reapplying sunscreen, suggesting sunscreen was not applied sufficiently to provide adequate UV protection. The reasons that people may receive an unintended sunburn after sunscreen use has been explored using qualitative interviews, which showed adults overestimated the amount of time they could safely be exposed to the sun and not reapplying sunscreen often enough, especially during water-based activities [ 40]. This study was based on a beach environment that may involve swimming, and this requires more frequent sunscreen applications. The wearable UV sensor was worn by almost all participants for the duration of the study, highlighting the robustness of the device.

Cover up. Don't rely on sun cream alone. Wear a T-shirt to cover typically over-exposed areas, such as the shoulders, plus a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect your face and eyes. Don't forget to stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water can help to prevent heatstroke, as well as helping sunburn to heal.

While it's important to keep topping up the suncream, here are a few more tips on how we can properly protect ourselves and our little ones from the sun's rays. UVR data were recorded using a UV-Biometer model 501 (Solar Light Co), and data were displayed using the UV index scale. The standard erythemal dose (SED) was also calculated using daily summaries and hourly observations recorded at 10 AM and at noon. The UVR data were captured by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency detector (Gold Coast, latitude 28 oS, 153 oE).
