Question

Answer 1

Depends on cloud cover, the type of clouds and the UV index.

Answer 2

Since you can get a severe sunburn on a ski slope in clear 10 degree weather you also can under the conditions you describe.  Heat has little to do with it.

Answer 3

yes, it is not the temp, but the amount of exposure to the sun.  Good Luck!

Answer 4

.The    surface    temp   has   nothing   to  do   with     with    the  suns   ability   to  burn   you   via  solar  radiation.What    matters   most  is   the  date   and  time   of  your  exposure.For  instance   on   June   21   at   noon    you   are   receiving    maximum   exposure   to   the  sun.On    December21    at  noon    you  receive    the  least.Now    that's    here   in   the  northern    hemisphere   of  course.You    can    also    be  burned   by   the  sun   through   cloud  cover.Be careful    how   long   you  expose  yourself   to  the  sun.Also   remember    your  young  now   but   over  exposure   to  the  sun  in  your  youth   will  leave   you  with  alligator   skin   in  your  senior   years.You    can   get   a  deep  tan   this  weekend   at  your  vacation  spot  you  chose  just  becareful.One  bad   sun  burn   this  weekend   chould  trigger  a  genetic  mutation   in  your  skin  cells   that  will  trigger   skin  cancer   20   or  so  years  from  now.    THANK   YOU   FOR  YOUR   QUESTION   AND  YOUR  HARD  WORK  AND  SMARTS.   db
