Yes - mine got to over 30deg C yesterday, and it's in partial shade!

Picking up on opening the greenhouse, I'm not a morning person. Unless you count 2am as morning, that is. So by the time I get down the sun has been up for a fair time and the greenhouse can turn into a cooker.

That's why I fitted autovents - they just open the window and close it again according to the temperature.  Just over £20 each and they last for years. I've also got a solar powered cooling fan in the home greenhouse. Sunnier the day, the more it whirrs along.

Couldn't resist putting a link to them -

second that John, them autovents are superb, dont forget the little nursey type people, mine cost 15 quid and its a good one.

I've got a louvre window kit and auto opener for the big greenhouse to fit next.  Ventilation is as important as heating is in winter
