Default Dyno Tuning in hot or Cold?

I have a dyno session on Saturday and it is supposed to be 91 degrees. Should I hold off until it is not as hot out or is it better to tune when it is hot? Also for winter should I retune again or keep the tune conservative for all conditions? Any help is most appreciated. thanks guys.

Tune it hot. When it cools off, you KNOW that the car will run w/out detonation. If you tune it cold, it'll get hot again and when you're running hard, you'll detonate.

could detonate.

and youll make more power when its cold, but i agree with the hot idea.
