Well the aloe vera did not work. I think the burn is at its peak now so it is sore but we are gonna try aloe vera later.

Burnt my tongue today on a cup of tea that was hotter than the surface of the Sun. My tongue feels like sand paper now.

Do what we Americans do, drink tea extra cold with ice in it

Nooo I don't like it! Your summers are too warm for hot tea anyway, I'd probably try and force an iced tea down in that situation though.

Actually, I was drinking hot Egyptian tea in 40C+ heat. Maybe I wouldn't pack the Yorkshire tea away after all!

It is the strength of the sun that burns you, not the temperature

It could be 15C but with a UV of 6 you would burn as much as you would if it was 25C...

The only reason you may not burn as much is that you may not have as much of your body exposed if the air temperature was cooler... Conversely many more people burn at the beach as the cooling sea breeze makes it easier to lay in the sun for longer, if you were inland it may be too hot to lay out in it for that long..

And equal reasons are the skin's adjustment to summer sun, and your skin type.

As I'm obviously Genghis Khan, I'm unable to get sunburnt at UV below 8.

If Owen is seeing the sun for the first time this year (obviously), and have a light skin type, he can get sunburnt at UV 3.

Anyways, the temp has nothing to do with it, just as you said.

Owens from Northern Ireland, he risks getting sun burn every time the screen lights up on his phone.

Haha, I get the reference to "that" poster
I have pale skin but it tans very easily. I get sunburned if it's UV 8 and I'm exposed for more than 45 minutes, give or take. Under UV 8 it takes significantly longer. UV 13 I'm burned to a crisp in 15 minutes without sunscreen.
