Sunny-Day UV
⚠ UV radiation remains at extreme levels even under July's persistent cloud cover. The overcast sky filters visible light but not the ultraviolet wavelengths that cause sunburn. The humidity's cooling effect on your skin disguises how much exposure you are accumulating. Sunburn in these conditions catches travelers who would never skip sunscreen on a cloudless beach day. Apply SPF 50. Reapply every two hours.
⚠ Mosquito populations in the Yaounde area peak during the transitions between wet and dry periods, and malaria carried by Plasmodium falciparum remains a genuine health risk throughout the city and its surroundings. Consult a travel health professional about antimalarial prophylaxis well before departure. Use DEET-based repellent and treated bed nets consistently. Be diligent between dusk and dawn when the Anopheles mosquitoes are most active. Take your pills. The disease is no joke.
