    So the temperature in your porch is 17.9c.  :)

    On the floor in shade yes. The top of the shoe cupboard is in full sun. That's where plants were. Bearing in mind, this is the beginning of march,so a long way to go!

    The temp of an area subject to direct sun is due to radiant heat. The TV weatherman might say it is 25c outside, yet you can fry an egg on the bonnet of a car.
    The only temp that is constant, is temp in the shade. I could place a thermometer 6 inches away from a fire and get a meaningless radiant temp of 50c, yet the temp in the room is 10c in the shade.
    When you see that plants need minimum temps of 'X', that is the air temp in the shade.
