Probably started tanning in February.  Actually, I don't know the details, but they do have the same parentage.

I know I adapted quite nicely when I lived out there.

14 years ago my wife, a 2nd generation Norwegian American with typical Nordic complexion, visited her sister on Oahu in early June, when the noonday sun is nearly straight up.  Only 30 midday minutes and she had sun poisoning enough to be nauseated and had to stay inside for 2 days.  At the ER that afternoon, the DR, a typical Hawaiian, said that she had drastically increased her chances for future skin cancer, saying that his brown skin was meant for sun but her paleness definitely was not.  So far so good, and since we had our 49th anniversary last month, she/we aren't exactly young.

People with dark complexion are actually more likely to develop serious skin cancers.

What a load of crap....

So you’re saying Africans are more susceptible?

Let me rephrase....skin cancers that are more dangerous, melanomas, etc...tend to have worse outcomes in darker complexions. That's what I have read. 

It has been years since reading so my memory is probably off..

Multiple studies have demonstrated that 5-year melanoma survival rates of Blacks and Hispanics are consistently lower than those of Caucasians (Reintgen et al, 1982; Rahman and Taylor, 2001; Byrd et al, 2004;). Compared with Caucasians, Hispanics and Blacks tend to present with more advanced, thicker tumors and thus tend to have a poorer prognosis, with higher mortality. In a review of California melanoma cases, tumors thicker than 1.5 mm at presentation increased at 11.6% per year and 8.9% per year among Hispanic males and females, respectively (Cockburn et al, 2006). In a retrospective analysis of case reports to the Florida Cancer Data system, late stage (regional and distant) was more common among Hispanic (26%) and Black patients (52%) compared with caucasians (16%) (Hu et al, 2006). Interestingly, in a review of California melanoma cases, it was shown that even after adjustments for age, sex, histology, stage, anatomic site, treatment, and socioeconomic status, a statistically significant increased risk of death was observed for Blacks compared with Caucasians (Zell et al, 2008). Hence, the poor survival for Black patients with melanoma is not fully explained by differences in treatment or socioeconomic status. All of these results indicated that more primary and secondary prevention efforts are warranted for the control of melanoma in all races/ethnicities, even for those persons who are at a lower risk of developing the disease (Friedman et al, 1994).

Sister could be less immune. My bro works outside everyday, but just this past weekend we were out fishing in the middle of the day....he wore SPF 30 and still got burned good.  About halfway through the day I put on some SPF 15, only on my face, and I'm fine.  I also work inside all day.

Incidence is way lower in dark skinned people regardless of severity.

Barely a heat wave at the STEM and we know 990ft is cooler.

So I did hit 90F today.  Shooting for day 6 tomorrow.

[Baroclinic Zone]

HYA looks to be running warm.  87F currently.  The other stations around are 6F cooler.

88/73 currently at TAN.  90F should not be a problem.

TAN just tossed out a couple 32C readings.  So looks like we may have a 6 day heat wave now.

[Baroclinic Zone]

Day 6 in the books.  91F.

[Baroclinic Zone]

Day 1 of heat wave number 2 in the books. 91F for high this far today.
