[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 1668304, member: 76248"] While I was in Australia, I was wandering around Adelaide and the surrounding bush parks. I had my solarmeter with me so I took readings throughout the day. And re-applied sunscreen often... The readings were nearly double what I get in Iowa on a summer day. Here's what I recorded: 1030a sun 4.6 11:55a sun 6.5 1:22p sun 7.9sunny 1:50p sun 9.2 4:00p sun 2.3 overcast/haze 1132a mon 5.3 cloudy 1215p mon 9.2 sunny 126p mon 5.5 cloudy 210p mon 7.8 sunny 835a tue 1.5 cloudy 1040a tue 2.5 cloudy 12p. Tue 5.0 cloudy 1p tue 10.9 sunny 220p tue 8.7 sunny 820a thu .9 sunny 930a thu 2.5 sunny 1045a thu 5.7 sunny 245p thu 7.8 sunny Averages: [GALLERY=media, 31571][/GALLERY] I think the increased radiation is due to the hole in the ozone layer in that area, so I'm not sure that dragons have had time to really adapt to that kind of intense sunlight other than to take cover from it. I heard that they are most active in the mornings and evenings and tend to hide during the middle of the day. That's just was was reported to me by locals in one small area though. I'd love to go back and take some readings and observations in the outback. [/QUOTE]
