35 but ALOT hotter in the sheds in summer. It would even get hot enoughfor you to carry your tools in a bucket of water to keep them cool.

Don't I know it, I've experienced 47 out there and because of the dodgy air conditioning it was 47 inside and out! If you put the evaporative cooler on then it got incredibly mugging!

I'd rather not :P certainly wasn't saying there wasn't hotter days, that's just the only day I can remember off the top of my head because it was reasonably recent for me.
