IP68 light sensor

The IP68 sensor specs say its detection range is 1-65535 lx, but summer midday light intensity can easily exceed 100,000 lx. Based on these two values, how is it possible to use it in “weather stations," stated as one of the applications??

I can see there are some references in the wiki page too:

Brightness Reference: 

Nighttime: 0.001-0.02 lxMoonlit night: 0.02-0.3 lxCloudy indoor: 5-50 lxCloudy outdoor: 50-500 lxSunny indoor: 100-1000 lxSummer noon sunlight: about 10*6 lxIlluminance for reading books: 50-60 lxStandard illuminance for home video: 1400 lx

 

I hope dfrobot will clarify the issue.
