With scorching heat across Taiwan, the UV index on June 23 is at 'dangerous levels' almost everywhere, with the risk of sunburn in just 15 minutes. Motorcyclists are particularly suffering as seat temperatures approach 50-60 degrees Celsius. Some individuals suggest spraying a bottle of water inside the cabin to cool it down, but does it really work? Tests reveal the effectiveness of using water, alcohol, or cooling mist sprays to lower temperatures, with some reaching a difference of 10 degrees. While water is easily accessible, it can heat up under exposure, alcohol evaporates quickly, and cooling mist sprays should not be kept in high-temperature environments. Dermatologists also caution against spraying the face due to the stimulating ingredients. It is advised to stay indoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to avoid sunburn and dehydration in such high UV conditions.
