Doesn't the UK do the sun smart message over there? - by the time you think you are burning, you already have been burnt. That's the danger of high UV.

While sun angle and UV have a correlation, don't assume they are the same.

Thermal sensation isn't UV either - a mistake many learn the hard way.

C. Too cool year round and not enough thunderstorms but unoffensive. Add about 8C to each month and more thunderstorms and it would be a solid A.

SoCal isn't warmer, not along the coast

Not all of SoCal is coastal. Move inland and the temperatures quickly rise.

It's was more about certain sun tanning salons Joe - hence the orange look you get these days from tanning sprays (have been popular for a while) - most folk here don't really do the sun thing - that safe sun thing was done some years ago and the real culprit was the booths - so they became the natural focus .

If anything ,the message of recent months is to get out in the sun for 30 mins a day -walk about - not hide away - vitamin D seriously lacking and now causing problems

Okay. I don't know anything about tanning salons, other than that they're banned in Australia.

I had noticed an orange look on UK tv shows.

Not sure of his preferences, But I'm guessing he would choose the lower lower sunshine of Hastings, for higher temperatures.

Each to their own, but I have noticed that in discussions on here over the years, the posters preferences typically seem different to the general perception in NZ -eg: Auckland and Whangarei seem to be favoured more than they are in NZ
