New to Humidors

Just got my first humidor and it doesnt seem to be staying in the "ideal" zone of 65 to 75.
It is in my garage and is currently high 80's in california and getting hotter. Is this my problem?
thank you in advance.

What kind of hygrometer do you have? Digital or analog?

Analog

i'm not sure if the heat itself would effect the humidity. Did you calibrate it correctly (the hygrometer)

Personally i found it difficult to calibrate my hygrometer that came with my first humi and wasn't 100% sure if i calibrated it correctly, so wound up buying a digital one. And if the humidity is high there to begin with i've been hearing about some sort of beads that keep the humidity at a certain range. I don't know much about those though.
