The best thing to do in the hot weather is stay out of the direct sun, especially during the hottest part of the day, between 11am and 3pm, as UV rays are strongest during these hours.

A new mole or a change in an existing mole may be signs of melanoma. If you spot any changes that you think could be cancer, contact your GP.
