Extended sunlight exposure does not pose significant problems for most people, except for children, infants, and people with fair skin who always need shielding. The Sun is most powerful around mid-day, so it's a good practice to reduce direct exposure. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn.
