-.- no seriously is it 5 yet.
Ha. I feel your pain. Nothing like coming to work and finding your Server room running at 88 degrees and temperature alarms being emailed out to you ever 5 minutes. (It's normally closer to 75 degrees).
Oh shit! thats not good for the server at all...
I had a site turn off live Credit Card processing- on October 7th.
Just turned it back on line yesterday- I was the one who took the call on the 7th and it was working properly when I finished the call.
The owner called me directly ( hes a drinking buddy) and now im scrambling to make sure he gets his money.Your situation ain't much better. Folks get funny when money is missing.

At least 88 is well within server parameters.

Trying to work while Liesl sits beside me doing her programming lessons.

not knowing parameters But dont you want it at a cooler degree.

Not usually. IBM and Intel recommend optimum for most environments to be closer to 90. Of course if your cooling is free (you live in Iceland), you don't want to be HEATING it to a higher temp. But paying to keep it below 90 is for the humans, not the equipment.
-
The thing you need to avoid is temperature fluctuations, that's what kills Winchester drives. You want a rock steady tempt, whether it is 60 or 95. And you need a good humidity to keep water from forming, and to avoid static build up. Beyond that, all you care is that it is stable.
Equipment prefers cooler, but only slightly. Cooling is expensive and the cost to cool is normally greater than the value it provides below around 90 degrees.

The room was 88 degrees. The servers were throwing temperature warnings at us. They didn't quite make it to the panic level, but it was right close. Stuff here starts shutting down when the room gets to 95.

Yeah. We keep this room ~75.... our "oh crap!" alarms are at 85, and our "crap just hit the fan" alarm is 95, lol.

Wow, sounds like bad airflow or something. IBM and Intel run datacenters intentionally at 95 ambient and found it to be the healthiest place to do it. In our NYC datacenters, we hit 165 before things started shutting down.

Lots of rain again. It's a few weeks of continuous rain here.

Been there with the temperature issues. Got lucky the first time happened to be there when our smaller office with just a few servers had an AC failure. Once we moved to our new building a few years back I purchased an environmental monitor prob with a hosting option so I can get emails and text messages (regardless of the state of our email system) and let's just say the first few months in our building back in 2015 (When we were the very first tenants), and on and off since then those alerts came in VERY handy.

Definitely bad air flow. The room was not built with being a server room in mind.

That's the killer. Even a room at 60 can burn out a server with bad enough air flow.

It's not THAT bad, lol.

So much rain here. Can't believe how it never stops.

The problem isn't the temperature. Servers will run great for a decade at 100 F.
The issue is stability in temperature. If it's 100 F 24/7/365, great. If the temperature is changing all the time, that's where it's bad.

Yeah. There's a lot to be said for consistency.
