Surely lightning.

I’m in New Zealand and our sun just destroys everything. The UV eats everything up and I’d not expose a cable to sunlight.

Plenty of places are hotter or have more UV but also have air pollution which blocks UV. Our relatively clear air lets the UV come ripping through.

At least sunlight won’t toast my switch though.

Is this why NZ streets, roads, towns generally look a bit "tired"? Hard to explain what I mean, but if UV light fades all the colors and makes things look neglected, it would be one explanation.

New concrete or even clean concrete is actually hard to be near and squinting is the norm. The difference just so striking when I go to Europe - it's like soft focus has been applied.
