Temp spike

My eggs are 6 days away from day 55...
They've been incubating at 88-90...then I looked at them today and they had jumped to 92...
I know eggs usually produce their own heat at the stage...so my question is...should I lower my thermostat to make up for it, or are they at that point where it won't bother them.

My eggs last year did the same and came out fine, but I just wanted to be sure.

There is no real need to drop the temps for the last week or so of ovulation. Just "wave" in some fresh air every day or so.
