Sunburn on day 13 after HT. Could I have ruined the grafts? Or is this normal shedding that's been accelerated? (photos)

I had a FUE surgery recently (3700 grafts) and on day 13 I went for a walk on a cloudy day in and got a sunburn on my scalp. I have attached photos from day 10, day 13 and day 14 where redness has mostly receded but I definitely see less hair (I saw it fall in the shower too, but only hair, never the hair tip or follicle with it). Is this to worry I could have ruined the grafts? Or is this a normal shedding process that has been accelerated in the parts where I burned the most? Please advise, I’m worried.
