hottest/brightest time of day?

[BreakfastSurreal]

im trying to minimize the amount of time i need to spend outside laying out. ive always heard 1pm-3pm, but lately ive been hearing different...what do yall think?

if i remember right it's the hottest out by 3, because it takes that long for the sun to heat everything up

Please refer to the chart below

That chart isn't temperature, it's UV levels, which makes sense because the sun reaches it's zenith at around noon, so it's rays hit the planet at the proper angle at that point.

Sorry that was the next graph that I didn't post.... but how hot it is doesn't affect how fast you tan. It's the amount of UV rays you are exposed to

According to that chart, 11:30 to 12:30 is your best window to get bombarded with UV light from the Sun.
