Hmmmm...I don't know. Now I have lots of ideas going through my head.

In the "mountain west" states -- Arizona, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico -- it's not uncommon for there to be a day with a high temp of, say, 65 degrees; and then the next day a high of 85. I have to think that a person would tan/burn faster on the hotter day (even if both days were sunny and cloudless). Maybe I'm wrong. But I seem to remember personal experiences of this being outdoors on two consecutive days when the temperatures were pretty drastically different.

Wind bringing hot or cold air in attributes to hotter or colder days, yeah, based on pressure. But of course there are many factors. That damn butterfly....

Original Message Why does a person tan/burn faster on a hot day?

For instance, let's take a random date...let's say April 5. Let's say the high temperature for April 5 is 90 degrees.

Let's say the next day (April 6), the high temperature is 68 degrees.

A person will tan/burn faster on the hotter day (April 5), even though the sun is the same distance from the earth, and the person is in the same location on both days. Only the temperature is different.

Why is this?
