There was an FSO around 2013 to comply with the FCOM procedure (flap 1 > 30C) after an east coast heat wave. This was quickly cancelled after an airbus verse tanker incident or so the story goes.
I‘ve spent most of the time flying them around in tropical environments. Maybe older 320’s are more prone? I’ve not flown many below serial number 4000.
