temperature rise
Getting hotter now
Temperature rise refers to an increase in temperature, most often in discussions of climate change and global warming: Scientists warn that a temperature rise of 2°C above pre-industrial levels would have catastrophic effects.
The phrase also appears in engineering and industrial contexts—the temperature rise in a motor or electrical component during operation, or in water passing through a heating system.
