that the temp of 129 is usually winter inside my truck with the temp probe and the outside temp about 60.I don't know about the overall average, but the average high in my city in July (the hottest month) is 13.3 C / 55.9 F and in the coldest month (January) the average high is 1.9 C / 35.4 F The average lows for those two months are 8.3 C / 46.9 F and -3.0 C / 26.6 F respectively. The hottest temperature ever recorded in my city was 26.2 °C / 79.2 °F on 30 July 2008 and the lowest was −24.5 °C / −12.1 °F on 21 January 1918. I have been outside the country though, and the hottest outside temperature I've experienced in person was 46.1 C / 115 F in Las Vegas, Nevada in the July 2006. That same day my thermometer registered 54 C / 129.2 F inside the car (the air conditioning didn't work).

I know what heat and uv are. I aslo know that florida in the states is the highest state for risk of skin cancer. we have people take xrays film from their car and it being in the sun will be unusable and people getting cancer from merely driving in their cars. florida isn't called the sunshine state for nothing.Did any of the articles (the link in the OP isn't working for me at the moment) account for the fact that people in western societies grow older with every generation and thus have an increased risk of getting any kind of cancer (since older people are at higher risk due to a longer lifetime of accumulated cell damage and reduced functionality of the immune/ repair system at older age) and thus skin cancer rates may rise because there's more older people in the population?
Are there statistics for the last decades looking only at younger people in their reproductive years, and only at people in one particular country?
From reading this thread I feel like we are dealing with a mess of statistics that aren't comparable or representative for the things they claim to represent.
Jason, heat is irrelevant in this case. UV radiation does not feel hot on your skin (until your skin is burnt). You may get sunburnt (and thus may add to your cancer risk even if you are in sub zero winter temperatures. What matters is sunlight exposure. Since snow may reflect some of the UV radiation and people tend to forget about sun protection on colder days the risk of getting sunburnt in a cold (yet sunny) weather may even be higher.
Doesn't Florida have a high rate of elderly people? That's a likely reason for a relatively high cancer rate.I know what heat and uv are.

no, the young and old get it. I know people under 50 who have it. I have had the pre cancer deal.Doesn't Florida have a high rate of elderly people? That's a likely reason for a relatively high cancer rate.
Also, Florida may have the same problem as Australia: many caucasian fair skinned people who've moved there during the last few generations; who's skin evolved in an area with much less sun exposure (norther/ middle Europe).

Just as a reminder, the body needs UVB to convert cholesterol (i.e. pre-vitamin D) to vitamin D.
Cholesterol, of course, is a powerful antioxidant just as beta carotene (pre-vitamin A) is.
Now, to get UVB, the solar altitude needs to be 50 degrees or higher. I'm sure the dividing line is not that sharp, but 50 degrees seems to be UVB sunset so-to-speak, hence I created one sundial that tells me when I'm getting vitamin D. Needless to say, that's near midday, and I don't bother sunning as much in the morning or evenings. Here in Pa, the sun is basically useless from the autumnal equinox until the vernal equinox, so vitamin supplements help. Stay away from "fortified" diary as that's pretty much poisonous as it causes inflammation (and the fortification is too low to make much difference anyway), but if you must drink milk, for example, drink whole and not skim. But only a little unless you have your own cow -- that's OK.
And antioxidants likewise help prevent aging, and maladies like heart disease and cancers, so any anti-oxidant is good to supplement on and all are good for the body in abundance.
