   40 was probably a one off (heat wave), but mid 30s occur every summer   
   month.   
      
   I've been looking at fan cases, but they all seem to prevent the use of   
   the HAT, which means I won't be able to find out what the ambient   
   temperature is.  I suppose I could design one of my own.
