I have an anchor steam clone fermenting right now in my breakfast room (kitchen extention) :confused:. Well it turns out its colder in that room due to a horrible draft then in my basement where the hot water heater makes my basement pretty warm. My rod thermometer shows at night around 65 degrees (feels colder) and during the day 70 degrees. The problem with the leaving it in the kitchen is the sun but I have it in a plastic ale pale. Is the higher temperature too high for WL san fransico lager yeast?? or will my beer turn out ok.
 
From WL website:

WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast
This yeast is used to produce the "California Common" style beer. A unique lager strain which has the ability to ferment up to 65 degrees while retaining lager characteristics. Can also be fermented down to 50 degrees for production of marzens, pilsners and other style lagers.
Attenuation: 65-70%
Flocculation: High
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 58-65°F
