Off hand, I'd say my fridge tracks the outside air temps by about a 40 degree negative off set; 90 outside is 50 inside the fridge, 65 outside is 25 inside the fridge, and so on. When the outside air gets cooler, I suspect there will be a point where the fridge stays the same and no longer tracks, finally at it's set point regardless of the outside air temp.
