I know people who sunburn at 18c... I need hot weather and high sun to sunburn..
And it is rare.
Air temperature has nothing to do with how much you will burn, it is purely based on the strength of the UV rays. It could be 15C & sunny in June or 30C & sunny in June & you would still burn the same amount...

Very true. I don't burn easily but I tan quick. I was working in full sun the other "morning" temps went from 58-61F(14-16C) and after some time I realized I got a nice tan, skin peeled a bit couple days later. Someone else with fair skin would of burned a little. It was clear and the sun was strong late morning.
Also adding.... I was in Aruba one year and the only thing that works there to protect your skin was #50 sunblock. Temps only 85-90F(29-32C).
Latitude also matters and how close you are to the equator. Altitude matters too. Up high there's less atmosphere to block the sunlight. Every 1000 feet you gain 4% UV exposure.
And age matters too. Older folks are more sensitive then younger ones. .
Extremely uncomfortable! I lived in a terraced house in my "younger" days and it were just awful. No wind, very humid and listless. People even flocked to the beaches to sleep on.
Speaking of upper 20s C nights - I think back to this amazing night when I was out at a musical event at a local park. The temperature just refused to go down after sunset. At midnight it was 79F with a dew point of 76.

I also don't burn, I really like not having to worry about putting sunscreen on every time I go outside. Though if the UV is higher than 12 then I will wear spf 15 for the first few days until I build up darker skin.
Night or low temperatures between 50~55°F(10~13°C) is very ideal for me
When it doesn't get below 64°F(18°C) anytime outside in summer time, I feel pretty uncomfortable.
So in my place, nights are about 27c with 90% humidity everyday. What do you think about it? Are you comfortable with it? Could you sleep without air conditioning?
I live in a place like this. It's a hell. No way I would ever get a rest at night without an A/C.
The A/C regulates humidity too. Cost an arm and a leg, but it's worth every penny.
