Did a few batches totalling up to 5kg+ for a order. Unhappy about it. Advice?

Roasted about 5kg for a cafe order. I usually roast in the morning. Usual weather is about 29-31c. Weather was slightly colder at 27c today because it rained. Unhappy with my roasts because the graph on my Artisan was all over the place. Some batches even had burnt chaff due to the initial charge temp. My ET reading was quite high. Couldn't adjust much as I pretty much had the profiles set. I don't know what went wrong? I checked everything such as exhaust fan etc. Nothing is blocked. Is it the weather that affects my roast?

Bought a used Breville Infuser for 300ISD

Giving this to my younger brother who's just about to start his coffee journey. Scored this from a friend for cheap. Plan to pair with a better grinder.

A few things I plan to mod before giving it off. 9 bar OPV spring. Maybe find the right dial to display the pressure readings rather than just guessing the breville's 'friendly' brew pressure gauge.

Do something about the steamwand maybe? Any other mods welcome!
