Engine temps seems a little more consistent and sitting a few degrees higher so that might have some effect.
I think the plan of action is to get the tune right at roughly 20°C ambient air temps as this would be roughly the most common ambient air temp the engine would see year round. Then see what it does with much cooler air.
Worst case we can play with the ignition timing Vs air temp which is now using the MAT sensor.

My brother just moved north where they seem to have a semi-permanent drought status, I don't think I'd like it up there either....
