    East and Southeast Asia in general. Umbrellas are not just for rain, but protection from the sun as well.

        A lot of umbrellas in Asia have a UV protection layer on them. Also, like the other comment said, it protects against heat and direct exposure.

        Pretty sure they meant it protects you from the heat of the sun. Like a cowboy hat or rice hat protects you from the sun
