Libre2 going beserk in warm weather?

Hi All, i was wondering whether others have noticed issues with Libre2 sensors since the current "heatwave" begun. The sensor is known to go awry in temps warmer than 40 deg C, but my home is nowhere near that hot and i am staying well hydrated all the time (2 reasons, according to the manufacturers, when readings may not be accurate in warm weather). I've had false alarms when i've not been low, and no alarms when i have gone low. Thankfully i still "feel" hypos coming on so am able to cope - but i'm having to double-check with finger pricks all the time these days.
 
I haven't noticed any differences with Libre in warm weather, and I've been using them for eight years.
If this happened with only one sensor it might just be a dodgy sensor?
 
I was sitting in full sunshine today and it came up with a warning that the sensor was too hot but that was it , the accuracy didn't seem to change and the warning disappeared when I went in the shade .
 
I had a “too hot “ warning last year whilst in a high temp. But I was in the shade just weeding a path..
I’ve had erratic readings if the sensor is on my arm if hand sawing timber for the duration of the activity, but this has happened during winter. Put it down to a tight base layer thermal long sleeve? (Think of it as a waking pressure low. Then a rebound high..?)

Lately I’ve been roasting on some outdoor jobs & a truck cab with no AC. & It’s been fine.

Still using the L2 inspite of being prescribed the plus version & issued the 2.
