Temps are a lot more critical for the primary fermentation. It would
probably be fine to just leave it where it is for the secondary. Moving
it to a colder location is alright too, although aging will occur more
slowly. On the other hand, doing something like crash cooling will
improve clarity a lot.
Usually what I'll do is secondary at the same temp as the primary, and
then crash cool a couple days before I bottle/keg.
