During a median 25.5\u2005years of follow-up, 6339 incident BCCs and 1253 incident SCCs were reported. Annual and summer UVB and UVA were each positively associated with both BCC and SCC risk before mutual adjustment. After adjusting for UVA, summer (but not annual) UVB Q5 vs. Q1 was associated with BCC (IRR 1.41, 95% CI 1.13\u20131.77) and SCC (IRR 1.69, 95% CI 1.01\u20132.84). After adjusting for UVB, annual (but not summer) UVA Q5 vs. Q1 was associated with BCC (IRR 1.42, 95% CI 1.13\u20131.77) and SCC (IRR 1.84, 95% CI 1.10\u20133.06).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Both summer UVB and annual UVA were independently associated with higher risks of both BCC and SCC.
