Apt description Tanveer for your first 2 etc so well done as such for the lucky two there. Have a feeling thou here I'm   besides the heat factor & wind as mentioned, your predicament as posted may just somehow also sadly played a part in the end on average with the returns & times there I suspect.

next race will be more tough Knackered.
temperature is rising. It will be 35-30c on race track  I wish to have rain before upcoming race to settle some temperature down.

I am going to propose my team about afternoon liberation.  next is 700Km and considered as 2 days race here. So I think we may liberate around 3-4PM while sun set is at 6:20PM at liberation site. so pigeon will have less temperature for 3 hours, after that all will rest where ever they find peace  next morning they will have 3 more hours with less temperature. once they will be 120Km away from home, temperature will be less here even at noon. as it is 2 days race, so mostly or all have to stay out at night, so why not to give them less exposure to heat.
what are your thoughts ?

One of those I suspect damned if you do & damned if you don't type scenarios Tanveer I'm Few here I suspect really know how hard racing in the heat can be & especially if distance is part of the general game & outcome at the end. Your option if honest certainly has some merit all things considered thou here in general we attempt to find a better day weather wise no matter what day of the week it may just be these days with electronic clocks. End of the day the Welfare of the pigeons must be the first & only priority in the end I suggest & if you see certain merit there in a later type liberation I would suggest giving it a go in a local sense   as one must simply have/keep an open mind in a pigeon sense Tanveer & nothing is written in stone with pigeons I've found & many roads can lead to Rome in the end type of thing. End of the day thou     a word of warning so to speak if you maybe attempt a later liberation there & going on my experience of what good pigeons can do come race day. Sun may go down in general     for most folk & most pigeons as a sign of bed time, but pigeons with the right mindset factor, don't I found at times    & so don't be surprised if you maybe get some night flyers somehow flying well into the dark & beyond like which is quite normal down here   with your proposed later than normal type liberation there if you attempt it somehow.
