I bring them inside when it goes below 10c but then that means they have nights of 15c and go outside during the day when it may be 14c.
That plant, with that parentage would be happy in 10-25C temps with phal to cattleya light. You probably are looking at too much heat, and the plant would be fine down to 2-3C, as long as it's leaves aren't wet and there is plenty of air flow to keep frost from settling.
