    When the average air temperature in a room is "normal", the piano can still be suffering. Much like using a datalogger to record the humidity changes, the temperature to which a piano is subjected can change dramatically when we aren't around. Be sure to take into account window placement, compass directions of doors, windows, etc.
    not that hot

    Looks like the reading I took off my dashboard a few weeks back while it was parked in the sun in front of a church that I tuned a Baldwin. I have a client with a Knabe  grand that sits under a skylight . I have measured 20 to thirty degrees higher readings in the mid octaves where the sun beats. I advised a shade or screen on the skylight or move the piano but it hasn't happened
