How can I compensate for temperature higher than 68 in my paper
developing? Should I try to cool things down?
Ilford used to have a nice semi-log graph (temp vs. time) with
parallel diagonal lines indicating equivalent development. I've been
using this with good success for some years now. It's close enough
for the first roll, then I can make some adjustments from there. The
old bookmark doesn't work, but I was able to find a tabular version
of this info:

The page right before this one suggests +/- 5C or 10 F for the
variations among chem/washes. The massive devel. chart at digital
truth often gives times for a few different temps, too.
For what it's worth, I've standardized on 24C for much of the year as
a compromise between cool enough to work well, but not needing an
extraordinary amount of ice to cool everything down. Except for the
first bit from the pipes within the house, my "cold" water is coming
out at 35C / 95 F.
