My wife does not want me in the bathroom upstairs but to use the 'spare' room down stairs which is about the same temp.as yours and damp in the summer, so a dehumidifier runs almost constaint. If i use the downstairs room it might be advisable then to run a warm 'bath' in a tub and take it down to the room a little hotter and moniter during,and keep a bottle of warmer water near by to 'top up' the bath??

I find that if I start at 68�, the temp will drop to about 66� after eight mminutes or so. So I start at 69� and finish at 67�. I think ambient temp has a lot more to do with changes in developer temp than does any chemical reaction. How warm is your darkroom?
