Wearing bright colored shirts will be cooler when going on a sunny day

Light-colored clothes help absorb less heat than dark clothes, on hot days, when people go to the street people should use it to feel cooler.

The North is experiencing hot sunny days, when the highest temperature in many places reaches 40 degrees Celsius, Hanoi alone is more than 41 degrees C. Experts recommend when going to the street, people should choose brightly colored clothes Thick helps avoid heat.

Light-colored clothes will absorb less heat so many people feel cooler during hot days.

Explaining this, Mr. Nguyen Duc Phuong (Hanoi National University) said that bright objects often absorb less sunlight than dark objects. With clothes too, bright colors will absorb less heat so many people feel cooler in hot days.

In contrast, in the shade and when the ambient temperature is lower than the average body temperature (about 37 degrees Celsius), the dark outfit absorbs heat from the body well, creating a cooler feeling.

In addition, when the sun is fierce, wearing a moderately thick coat will help insulate better than a thin coat. The reason is that the outdoor temperature at this time is higher than the body temperature. Another benefit of a thick coat is better ability to prevent ultraviolet radiation in sunlight. The UVA beam component with a wavelength of 315-380nm and UVB with a wavelength of 280-315nm of ultraviolet wavelengths can cause biological effects harmful to skin and eyes.

UVA rays can cause severe retinal damage, even blindness. UVB stimulates skin pigmentation, making the skin darker, often called sunburn, causing aging. If skin is exposed to high intensity UVB rays for a long time, it can cause skin cancer, melanoma.
