Where ever you have an incubator it needs to be in a temperature stable environment. So a room with a constant temperature is perfect.

As Danny says it needs to be in a cool place so it can warm up to correct temps being in a conservatory it can do that fine but when the room warms up so will your incubator as it has no way of cooling down

Thankyou for your replys so do you think they should be ok with temps goin up to 34

I would move t somewhere cooler if you can. Its worse for eggs to get too hot rather than too cold I believe. Have you got a bedroom or anywhere else you could put it (obviously a garage etc is going to get too cold at night at the moment) but I know my conservatory can reach dangerously hot levels very quickly if the sun hits it on a warm day.
