I guess only time will tell now what happens. 4 months of winter to go!
At higher fluid:air temp differentials, heat transfer is greater and you will get rid of heat faster (assuming the cooler area and air flow is enough to get rid of the extra heat). Ie, you may be in better shape than you think.
