"I was wondering why you are wearing a long sleeve shirt. Aren't you hot?"
"Well, firstly, my mother died of skin cancer caused by sun exposure and I was not planning on following in her footsteps. Secondly, my skin is quite sensitive to the sun and I'm sure I would suffer from severe sunburn if I left my arms uncovered. Finally, this place is full of all kinds of flying bugs and mosquitoes and I don't want to get some terrible disease that takes months to recover from. I hope that answers your question!"
"Yes, it does."
Sunburn is when the heat and light of the sun causes skin to turn red and burn, which eventually leads to blisters and the skin peeling; which can be very painful.
When you're trying to explain that you don't want to be exposed to the sun to a point where you burn, then you can say:
-Because I don't want to get burned by the sun
-I'm trying to avoid sunburn
日焼けをしたくないので太陽に当たりたくない、と伝える言い方です:
-Because I don't want to get burned by the sun
日焼けしたくないからです。
-I'm trying to avoid sunburn
日焼けしないようにしています。

We can either say that, "I don't want to get sunburned," which explains the rash or illness we get on our skin when we get too much sun.
We can also talk about, "protect myself," from the sun to show that the clothing is for this function.
