In my situation ANY day the sun is out the frames come off. Even on a cloudy day my frames run about 20 degrees warmer than outside temp. On a sunny day 130 degrees is no problem with air temps in the 80's.

When in doubt remove them so you don't fry your plant.

Triples for hail too. I do what Shannon said, they stay until the plant out grows, open and close as needed.
