A/C unit installed. Initially recorded temperatures quite good (that is, low). Later in the evening (after equilibration) not brilliant. Run a temperature monitoring script to see how it goes. Needless to say that nefeli's A/C was immediately switched-off with marked results:
Hopefully, even if the A/C in norma fails, the crontab should save the day:
