Help from anyone in Arizona

[detali]

I got my Hovabator a few days ago. I managed to keep the temperature at an even 100 degrees. I live in Arizona. The past week it has been quite cool. Today it's hot again. When I checked the bator the temp inside was 102. That would surely have cooked the eggs if I had set them already. With an outdoor temperature difference of as much 50 degrees between day and night that will affect the temp in the hovabator. Day time temps can be 100 outside.

Will I have to spot check the temp day and night througout the whole incubation period?

I'm told you can range your temp from 99-103. I have an LG and have kept it at a steady 100. I check the temp many many times a day as well as the humidity. I guess I've done something right as I've got 5 just hatched in the brooder and another 10 pipped in the incubator. 15 out of 18 eggs that I set.
