A method of cooling a wind turbine. A cooling system is operated with a first setpoint temperature to cool the wind turbine over a first period. The method comprises measuring a temperature of the wind turbine over the first period to obtain temperature measurements; allocating each of the temperature measurements to a temperature range, wherein one or more of the temperature ranges are critical temperature ranges; and for each critical temperature range, comparing a parameter indicative of a number of the temperature measurements allocated to the critical temperature range with a threshold; selecting a second setpoint temperature on the basis of the comparison(s); and operating the cooling system with the second setpoint temperature over a second period. An equivalent method is also disclosed in which a power setting of the wind turbine is changed on the basis of the comparison(s).
