Don't forget that it is also possible to get sunburned even when it is cloudy outside. You might not think about this much because when it's cloudy it is often cooler and people wear long sleeves. But if you are out with short sleeves and it is cloudy, yes the clouds do reduce somewhat the amount of UV rays that hit you, a significant amount will still get through. Just think, when you are swimming, snorkling, etc, you still get sunburned (and can get burned very badly) and this might be through a couple of feet of 'solid' water. Clouds are made up of tiny droplets and you can still get burned through them. Just another FYI.
