This is my second attempt at macarons and I was so hopeful it was going well until I opened the oven! Can anybody give me any suggestions on what they think may have gone wrong here? I baked them at 140C in a fan oven. Most of them are uneven and only rising from one side. Some have cracked even though they dried for almost an hour

1) fan blowing too fast
2) oven too hot
3) dried too long
could be any of these, some, or all three. could be a meringue that is too quickly whipped, under whipped, over whipped…
How humid is it where you are? One hour might not be enough.
What method did you use?
is there a mode in the oven for conventional and not convection? looks like the fan is blowing it too hard and causing it to lean
