Many people have observed that people 'tan faster' in the Southern Hemisphere, compared to equivalent latitudes in Europe. Some Australians even say the sun is 'less bright' on a European beach.

Now is there some natural Earth-Science explanation for this - or do we go back to a climate-change explanation for this?

My question is: **Is the difference in 'Summer tanning' in the Southern Hemisphere related to the Ozone hole or are there other factors?**
