The entire planet is experiencing unprecedented hot temperatures. One obvious way to beat the heat is to get into the shade. Have you ever wondered why it’s actually cooler in the shade and that not all air temperature around you feels the same?
When you’re out in the sun, you’re exposed to two types of radiation: ultraviolet (UV) radiation and infrared (IR) radiation. UV radiation is what causes sunburns, while IR radiation is what makes you feel hot.
Shade blocks both UV and IR radiation, which is the simple reason why it feels cooler in the shade. In fact, studies have shown that the air temperature in the shade can be up to 15 degrees cooler than the air temperature in direct sunlight.
We recommend The Crescent beach tent as a great way to stay cool and comfortable on hot days, particularly if you want to spend a long day at the beach, or even just an entire afternoon..
