Signal levels vary normally as the outside temperature changes - higher
levels in cold and lower levels in hot. The reason is that the resistance
or loss in the metal conductor of the cable increases as the temperature
rises. If you have a -10 reading on a cold day then when summer comes it
may drop to a -15. Of course, being close to the lower limit of the cable
modems range, usually -15, makes it more possible that you'll exceed it
during hot temperatures.
