It would appear that the bearing on a 240 volt fan give off a lot of heat.

Change the fan to a 12 volt and use a transformer, mobile phone chargers work well.
I had the same problems with fluctuating temps when i set up my first fridge incubator, the 240v fan is too much, as soon as it was swapped with 1 CPU fan the temps stayed pretty constant, also any internal lighting can screw things up !. The 240v fan also created too much air flow & tended to lower the humidity to dangerous levels, even now with a 12v fan i allways put a cup of water in the incubator.

But your warm climate doesnt help matters as you already know.......looks like youll have to find a more temperature stable room.
