Actually I was kind of wondering if the warmed air might actually have an effect to increase the water evaporation and thus actually cool the water faster. Seems counter-intuitive almost, until you realize just how effective evaporation is at cooling the "evaporatee." (So long as the air has somewhere to go, quickly, after it contacts the water surface.) Thanks for asking the question, Simon; and thanks for answering, Steve; that was a very interesting point to ponder and it kind of confirms that theory! [img]smile.gif[/img]

(PS. Great, now I think I've learned something. No wonder my head hurts! ;) )
