The above rule also applies to holiday homes, do not stay at the water's edge during these hours due to high UVB radiation. In this case you can even get sunburnt in the shade.

Just cooling down for a few minutes can help a lot. But don't overdo it! And always have at least one long-sleeved top or scarf with you against sudden chills!
