Southern Portugal, shade cloth over the whole greenhouse, everything that can open is open, big fan running.
Over the last week the maximum was 48.7c, average 29.9, minimum 14.00. We had a few nights when it stayed over 20c at night which upped the average.
Humidity in that time was average of 40.2%, minimum 8.7% (hence the wild fires)

30 in the GH today.
Also 30 in the shade outside.
Surprisingly the house temperature hasn't gone mad and is still in the mid 20s despite having the windows open.

Re: What is your Max / Min temperature in the GREENHOUSE?
Peaked at exactly 35C today, under the staging in a special holder so no direct sun although the staging itself is obviously in the sun. That's only about 5C higher than the outdoor air temperature, so quite modest really. Night temperatures drop close to the outdoor temperature with all the vents open all night, but that will probably still be above 20C for the next two or three nights. That should keep most of the mesembs asleep, just a shame many of the Conophytums were coming alive already.
I'm moving into emergency mode now with a couple of sheets over the greenhouse today, probably a third tomorrow, and obviously the fans running and some glazing out for extra vents. Rather overcast today, supposed to be much stronger sun tomorrow, it will be by far the hottest I've ever experienced in this country.

Peaked at 15h30 at 31C and is hovering at this point.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Maximum today in a shady position in the more sheltered greenhouse was 'only' 25, minimum last night was 12. This is near Leatherhead. Driving home at lunchtime, the outside temperature showed 34.

It got a bit hot in the propagator, the heat sensor is buried in the compost and set at 30 degrees.

Re: What is your Max / Min temperature in the GREENHOUSE?
Just found out how to get data from thermometer into excel rather than just being able to view history on phone, 43.6 at midday and rising....
53°22' N 2°52'W Edit
Just retrieved this afternoon's data from thermometer to phone and downloaded each minute into Excel - maximum was 45°C
