The Dead Sea is known for its unique climate. Firstly, the area has approx 330 sunny days a year. There   is less than 50mm annual  rainfall. Low humidity with dry air and constantly high temperatures are believed to ease the symptoms of asthma, cystic fibrosis and certain lung diseases.7 DAY FORECAST! - click here Sunlight at the Dead Sea is high in therapeutic UVA rays and low in burning UVB, so extended exposure is safe and low-risk. The filtering effect comes from a thick atmosphere: the Dead Sea is about 1,200 feet below sea level and the ozone layer above it ihas minimal depletion.

The Dead Sea is the only place on earth where you can sunbathe for long periods with little or no sunburn because harmful ultraviolet rays are filtered through three natural layers: an extra atmospheric layer, an evaporation layer that exists above the Dead Sea, and a rather thick ozone layer. It is recommended, however, that guests to the Dead Sea maintain careful and progressive exposure to the sun. Don't overdo it at the beginning!
