Protect your skin from UV in Ecuador!

15 years ago
How weird:
The Ecuadorian Civilian Space Agency (EXA) has issued an alert regarding elevated Ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels in Ecuador.

EXA released the Hyperion Report in October 2008 regarding a weakening in the ozone layer over Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. The ozone layer absorbs UV radiation from the sun; when the ozone layer weakens, more UV radiation reaches the earth. EXA has a network of ground stations measuring UV radiation in Quito and Guayaquil. The UV index (UVI) has been up to 14 in Guayaquil and up to 24 in Quito. UVI levels above 11 are considered dangerous. EXA predicts the UVI will continue to be extremely high for the next several months, particularly in the Sierra.
