I'm reading a high of 64F or 18C... which is pretty cool... relatively speaking.

However that high temperature is undoubtedly responsible in part for Horace's inactivity. He needs it a little cooler!

I don't think it's 105F... unless... it is in a coldframe or hot house.

I believe something is wrong with your temperature measuring device.

You do get hot spots in small areas where there is direct sunshine and it is completely sheltered which can make thermometers read very high. Equally, your thermometer may not be entirely accurate. The hottest ever temperature in the UK was recorded at 38.5C in Faversham, not far from me, back in the summer of 2003. I stand by my statement that, in the UK, temperatures do not reach 40C unless it is in a very sheltered sunny spot.

I have no problem agreeing to disagree but if you correct the temperatures at either end and you are wrong it is only going to compound the problem.
The only other explanation... you're in your own little pocket of hell.
