Hi, I suggest you pick up the egg carefully. I believe the chances are, it will be as light as a feather. I have had that happen a couple of times. The eggs looks perfect in everyway but there is nothing inside. Everything inside has evaporated since your temperature is above 80. My opinion only. Anyway, good luck. Harry
