Default Darkroom temperature

What are your current darkroom temperatures?

The temperature in my darkroom this morning is 25/26'C. Yesterday I did a 4 hour printing session in similar temperatures However I had a circulation fan running which helped keep me a little fresh.

Commiserations.

Mine is air-conditioned. However I'm not in it.

Trevor,
Pretty hot at the moment (in a wooden shed with no windows) and have considered a portable air con unit. But decided early mornings and late afternoons were just about bearable with the door open as much as possible :-)

Neil.

The temp in my darkroom runs at about 20 degrees most of the time it always feels coolier than the rest of the house. This side of the property is not in direct sunlight which may account for this

In the 26/27's here too yesterday at 9pm... I'm not complaining - we get sustained good weather like this far too seldom

Working all day so I cannot get in there. But I have taken my paper and developers out to a cooler place during this 'heatwave'. It has not been very hot up here in Newcastle in fact quite pleasant but rather cloudy all the time.

Mine hit 29 today! I just popped in about 2 o'clock to get out prints I did yesterday evening when it was only 25! I don't think I'm going back in today.

Incidentally, ID78 gives excellent warmtone results at 25 DegC!
