It's a rolling blackout. The aircon is not on backup power, so the aircon goes dead when the power goes off.

Neat graphs. I wonder if you could use fans to help. It's probably not 35 outside.

Today it was 38C outside when I left, and inside it was 28.8C in the server room. This was at 16:30 and the aircon switched off at 16:00.

What happened on 7th at 13:19? Almost instant drop in temp.
Sensor issue?
Also: South Africa?

I put the sensor on the inlet side of the server room, to see what the incoming temperature is.
And yep, South Africa.

Tools used:
Python, with the phidgets library to read the sensor.
Visualization made in Google sheets.

Loadshedding is when your electric company turns off your air conditioner?
