   I think I got the worst sunburns when I didn't feel hot at all.

   Usually, it involves water, water cools you down, so you don't feel the heat, but it doesn't block UV, so you don't get the warning.

      Overcast days are the worst offenders for sunburn because the melanin impaired don’t feel the heat of the sun to remind them they are going to roast.

         They are also the worst because you get mostly UVA since UVB has a harder time penetrating through cloud cover
