Red hot!

No, I'm not talking about me
My GH temp is soaring over 45c...it's a blowy day but really warm. I'm misting with my sprayer and the resident plants look fine.
Just wondered how you can keep it cooler when all the doors and windows are open.

I have just discovered, having run out of washing line space, that a big damp towel slung over the roof gives nice shade and reduces the temp by 10c

have to admit we've had it really hot up here too... couldn't believe the thermometer in the growhouse!!

can anyone tell me what is the best temperature for the greenhouse and if it so hot as it was today canyou spray inside as tigerella has done i'm new to greenhouse gardening as tigger say's the plants look ok ,last week when we had a hot spell my tomatoes were at the back and were all limpy so i moved them down to the door end and they seem ok there ,this weather is it better to put the toms outside anyway and let the bees do the best

I keep mine no hotter than 25c if I can help it. My plants don't seem fussed if it reaches past 40 tho. Any cooler than 15c I shut the GH up.
I spray with a mister on warm days to make it nice and humid.
