I thought its more than 1C since 1981
Remember this is water, which has a much greater thermal capacity than air.
Yeah, I didnt mean its not much, but was sure the increase was higher (source: thoughts while taking shower hehe). Thx for clarifying!
Water needs x4 energy of what air needs to increase the same amount of temperature iirc, so.. In air differences it's almost 2°C at some points and almost 1 at others, it's super worrying.
