Getting a suntan in the VI just isn't the same as it is in the states. When I visit Michigan every year I lay out in the sun and get a nice golden brown tan. I can stay out there all day long and soak up the sun. In the VI, well, I can go about 40 minutes before I have a burn. Not brown, just straight to burn. The sun here is no joke. Just ask the hundreds of fried tourists wandering around the island. I just don't understand how they can't feel themselves getting burned. The sun here is intense, you can feel it cooking your skin. USE SUNSCREEN IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND YOU HAVE PALE SKIN!!!!!!
The UV index is 1,000 times greater at the equator than it is at the poles.
The UV index, at the worst part of the day, on St. John is 13. The UV index at the worst part of the day in Michigan is 7. St. John's UV index is higher than Michigan's MAX UV index of 7 between 2 and 3 pm, from 10 am until 3:30pm.
Bring your jumbo sized 30 SPF! If you let your kids get burned, I'm going to give you the stink eye.
