Hi Mr B.,

Here's some questions.

Does the ozone hole come in the Winter or Summer because my Dad said that it probably comes in one Season?

And if it does come in the summer do you wear a hat or sunscreen?

Stay warm,

Your Dad is correct, the ozone hole is largest during certain times of the year. It tends to be the worst during the late winter and early spring.You should definitely wear sunscreen when the hole is largest. Even now when it is not too bad we wear sunscreen when we are outside. The sun reflecting off of the snow can burn you badly. Even in Texas you should wear sunscreen when you are in the sun quite a bit.
