In more strict terms, the temperature scale starts at minus 273.15C. So the difference between this week of 22C and last week of 32C isn't a 50 percent difference. And comments like it's 50 percent hotter/cooler don't apply either, because an approximate 10C temperature change doubles/halves hotness or energy.

Just been back and checked and there is nothing. It was a quiet day yesterday too, lots of our customers only work half a day on Fridays so not many emails coming in.

PM me your email address and we'll check the distribution list. It's the first problem we've heard about since the fix.
