Welcome to Australia.
- mafro 9y agoSo true. Being from the UK, I was used to seeing UV of 4 or 5 on the weather report. I assumed this was a 1-10 scale. Then I got to Australia and UV is 13 or 14! The US EPA scale runs to 11 [1]. [1] https://www.epa.gov/sunsafety/uv-index-scale-1 https://www.epa.gov/sunsafety/uv-index-scale-1
- imron 9y agoWe dial it to 11, and then some!
- nrki 9y ago> Welcome to Australia. Yep. I actually wish the ozone hole was over a significantly populous region - maybe people would give more of a shit about the stuff we pump into the atmosphere then.
- ant6n 9y agoDoes Australia care about the stuff they pump into the atmosphere?
- daemin 9y agoAlso true for New Zealand based on what I hear from my Kiwi co-worker.
