The ozone layer there hasn't been destroyed, just weakened. If it was destroyed UV intensity would be far higher than it is now; keep in mind that there were no (or vanishingly few) land creatures of any kind before the ozone layer formed.
I agree. I despise strong sunshine. Well, actually, it's more of a love/hate relationship, as strong sunshine in summer can be pretty and uplifting, but I hate being out in it. I made a thread about this once. I feel much less uncomfortable in the shade even if it's very hot and humid, than in the sun even at a more moderate level of heat and humidity. It just makes my skin feel so hot and uncomfortable.
Really? Them aim thing I notice when I go away in summer, is the difference in sun intensity. The Middle East in particular is unbearable.
Nope, I cannot tell a difference. The only difference is the placement of the sun being right above me with a higher UV vs a lower angle in the sky.
Temperature plays a factor though, as you say middle east 45C with a UV index of 7 vs 13 would be no different they both would be hot.
