I have not had much issues yet with the temps. I have a 250 ibc tote burried almost 6 feet in the ground. Drying the winter the coolest it got was 70. We have been having highs in the high 80s and have touched the low 90s the last few days and the solution gets up to about 74. We do have a cover over the tote and that helps. Very little sun reaches it. It's not easy to check the amount in it. But it's worth the trouble to keep the heat out. Gonna see in the next couple months when the heat really kicks up how hot it gets.

Good luck with your new market. Hope things go your way there!
