Default tuning on a hot day?

tuning at evans on friday and it's supposed to be in the 90's with low humidity. i'm not entirely happy about that but he's so booked i have to stick with the appointment.

bad idea or what? i care solely about the quality of the tune since i don't drive around most of the time in such heat!

tune for the worst so you always have the best...in this case since the heat will be extreme for you the car will respond better during lower temps.

^^It will also be very lean on a cold day.

To answer the op question is your going to an experienced tuner so you will be fine.They will make the proper allowances for the weather.
