The temperature dosn't matter. What matters is the UV Index (Ultraviolet Index) which is how strong the sun is going to be for a particular day. It's measured on a scale from 1-10+ and here it is.
1-3= Low
4-6=Moderate
6-8=High
9-10= Very High
10+= Extreme
the best UV index to go tanning in is in my opinion between 6-9 and around 12:00 noon because that's when the Sun is at it's highest intensity but usually in Arizona this time of year the UV index is a 10+ and it usually dosn't go below 10 during the summer time but if you do go out tanning make sure you have Tanning Oil with an SPF of at least 15 to protect your skin and only stay out there for no more than a half hour and then wait a few hours and then go back outside again because they call that level Extreme for a reason.

Best Uv Index For Tanning

As one person said, tanning is due to the intensity of the sunlight, not the heat (though that can make you red). Oddly, you're MORE likely to burn on COOLER, sunny days, since you don't heat up as quickly, so you stay out longer.
Most scientists, including doctors, like oncologists and dermatologists agree that there is really no "safe" amount of tanning. Even with sunscreen, the rays can still cause wrinkling and worse, various types of skin cancer. You're better off with a self-tanner.

Actually the temp does not matter, it is more comfortable to tan while it is warm. But you can get the best tan in the early morning and the late day times because the sun is not as harsh and you can handle the heat. Just stay hydrated and use sunscreen so you don't burn, like on your face. You will still tan just not burn.

There is no "best" temperature, since tanning is a function of the weather, the type skin of the individual being tanned and the angle of the sun. So pick a temperature which suits you. Offhand, 93F should be an OK temperature; just use lots of lotion.

It's the intensity of the sunlight that matters, not the outdoor temperature. When I was going to college in Butte, Montana, there was one girl in the dorm who would be lying out catching rays in her bikini when it was 40 degrees (F) outside!
She got her tan, all right ... and plenty of attention, too, I might add. ;-)
