Its great at the moment the sun is shining and it is really really hot. People tend to be more happy and will generally smile more which is great too. The sun can be good and bad for health like everything else in moderation is fine altough too much too often and it will cause problem. The sun promotes Vitamin D promotion which is essential in the development in healthy bones. Too much sun can cause premature aging and in some cases carcinomas
so enjoy the sun and like everything else in moderation is a good thing
