What Happens On A Cloudy Day With Your Sunlight Exposure?
Even on a cloudy day, getting outside is key.
You still get way more light than from any indoor source.
The catch? Cloudy days mean you need more time outdoors to get the same benefits.
Here’s your guideline for sun exposure:
- Clear Day: 5 minutes
- Partial Clouds: 10 minutes
- Dense Clouds / Rainy Day: 20–30 minutes
Sunlight isn’t just about brightness—it regulates sleep, mood, hormones, metabolism and even focus.
So, rain or shine, step outside. Your body will thank you.
If getting outside isn’t an option, artificial light sources (like daylight simulators, LEDs or ring lights) help—though nothing beats the sun.
P.S. Don’t forget sunscreen even on an overcast day.
