Of course not taking into account your alcometer readings will be way off.
Now this is purely hypertheticle and shouldn't be run at these temps. :-B
Personaly my thoughts are if your cooling system temp is over 30ish deg, you need to something about it. :-B

I have a 1000L cooling tank and it's often over 50degrees when doing back to back. it's never been below 30 since i had it lol

Also anything over 20°c will throw your alcometer off as well.
