So I decided to try a colony with some rather oversized cold storage houses. Right now I'm having 14 Coolers set to -10° C each. 8 of them are pumping heat into the central colony corridor which is connected via vents to the different rooms. You know.... cheap heating in winter times. Biome is a temperate forest set from -2.5°C in Winter to max 26°C in Summer.
Last year I was forced to open all outside doors because the whole base heated up to 60°. This year though the outdoor temperatures climbed even further giving me some 45° on the whole map! No Heatwave, regular midsummer temperatures.

I'm a bit curious now. Is my colony actually able to heat the whole map via Coolers? Global warming simulation? Or is it just Cassandra raising the summer temperatures every year for "difficulty reasons" until my colony cooks away?

I believe it is just the roll of the dice. I've had winter temperature slowly rise over 2 years but then the 3rd winter was very cold.
