Temp was at the 46C mark today - good cloud cover all day, and it even rained softly for a few hours... System temp still the same.

nights are averaging round 15C to 18C, and mid day at roughly 21 to 24 in the sunny spots, not sure about in the shade.

It does get colder, but those are the average temps... there have been the odd few days below 10C, but those are the very odd days - we are not called the tropical norh for nothing!... ANd the fish I have stocked my system with are not cold lovers, as soon as you go below 20C, they stop feeding etc!

Compost temp down to 38C... all the rain over the past 2 days seems to have affected the compost heap (too wet perhaps?)... Thinking I will 'turn' the one heap to see if it 'picks up' and generates more heat again!

It will probably initially go even lower after a turn, but then pick up again

Compost temp a warm 39 today... and it is still VERY wet - so too much water does negatively affect the heat generating ability!
