Heat has nothing to do w/ tanning. UVA & UVB rays are what trigger melanin production in the skin. Tanning is our skin's protective reaction to light no not temperature.
We respond to heat by sweating to cool us down.

Yes, in fact on days that are more overcast and you think you won't get a tan are days that you will probably get burnt. If it is not so hot out and you feel like the sun is not beating on you, you tend to stay out too long and get burnt. My husband works outside all day everyday and comes home darker than the day before even if it is cooler weather. Also, be careful if you are by water because the reflection from the sun on the water tends to burn as well, but in answer to your question, yes you can get a tan in 80 degree weather just like you would in 98 degree weather and you will be more comfortable doing it.

yes... i live in florida and work outside alot, and you can get tan when its cloudy believe it or not.. temperature has nothing to do with uv rays! which is what changes the pigment in your skin.. the only difference between the 80 and the 98 is that you are going to be sweating and miserable in the heat! lol.

It's not the heat that tans you, it's the UV rays of the sun and the angle that you are receiving them. So where you are on the earth and the time of year also relates to the tanning index.

IT DEPENDS WHERE YOU ARE. IN SHADE IN 98 NO TAN IN 80 IN SUN TAN

there really is not much of a difference except at 98 the sun is stronger and you are much more likely to get a sun burn

sunno, its more about cloud cover and clarity really (which is often closely linked with the temperature). you'd get tanned in both, but in cooler weather you wouldn't feel yourself burning or taning as much, so you need to be just as careful as in hoter weather, when your skin will tan more.

It's not the heat it's the uv rays the sun gives off

Yes it is about the same. It really just matters how long you are out in the sun.
