Normally, the temperature in the lower cargo areas cannot be kept cold if the outside air temperature is higher than 8C. There is no refrigeration system, other than outside air temperature. On the ground, with the cargo doors open, the cargo temperature will be roughly the same as ambient.

What was the temperature at the departure and arrival airports on the day/s in question?
