Have you ever been in a house attic on a hot day? It's absolutely stiflingly hot! It was perhaps 22C at my home yesterday, and by chance I had to get something

  Okay, I concede that Attics could be 30 degrees, at least some of the time :-) Mine probably isn't because the insulation is on the 'floor' of the attic, so it should be approximately the same temperature as the outside air (well, if it were ventilated properly). This is one of the design choices of an attic. Still, I do wonder if this provides enough hot spaces for mice to have evolved to expect a 30 degrees environment. Maybe they do in some places.
