For a two month period the average temperature in the Hoover (State building) data center was around 67 degrees.  Peak temperatures were generally in the 70's and peak lows were in the 50's.

We have a Barracuda box, that has temp monitoring on it, being watched
by Cacti, so we can tell what the server room temp is.

We did add a portable AC unit to the server room. It keeps the room nice
and cool, usually 70 to 74 F.
