temperature swing
Heat level change
Temperature swing is a significant change in temperature over a relatively short period—from day to night, between seasons, or during weather shifts.
The term appears in climate discussions, building science, and industrial processes: Desert regions experience dramatic temperature swings between day and night.
A wide swing stresses materials and increases energy costs for heating and cooling.
