When it's over 32 degrees Celsius, though, the latter can have some very unpleasant results.

You know the sun burn's bad when you have to take time off work.

But until @grgbinnie shared the photos of himself, no-one probably realised just how bad.

If that's not an incentive to wear sun cream, we don't know what is.
