Solar power in the heat

Just wondering if anyone else has had their solar controller drop the ampage that it is putting in during this extreme heat.

Where I am it's been around 33c for the last few days, my panels are going to between 60c and 70c during the day. My voltage is correct on the solar controller (35.2v) and it's not my BMS on my lifepo4 because if I start the engine my B2B smashes the amps in but I'm only putting in 5a off the solar at any given time.

This has only started since the heat came, up until then I was getting upto 40a off the solar during the day. I'm guessing it's my mttp getting to hot but again I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

Not sure what I got here?

Been cutting a tree that was in somebody's garden, they advertised it as free to collector but when I arrived it was huge, the trunk is at least 10 foot wide and I still have to tackle it. The question is what wood am I harvesting? I have been told by a meighbour they beleive it is popular but I seem to lean towards oak or something different die to the bark. What do you guys think?
