Sun safety in Singapore

Singapore sits just north of the equator, so the sun is nearly overhead year-round and UV routinely reaches "very high" or "extreme" between about 11am and 3pm. The Health Promotion Board recommends sun protection whenever the UV index is 3 or above — that's most daylight hours here.

UV categories

  • Low (up to 2): Sun protection not usually needed.
  • Moderate (up to 5): Wear sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses.
  • High (up to 7): Reduce time in the sun 10am-4pm. SPF 50+.
  • Very high (up to 10): Avoid the midday sun. Full sun protection.
  • Extreme (11+): Stay indoors during peak UV hours.
