May be of interest, but air/surface temperature can affect auto-land performance near the runway, thus due to the late disturbance the performance can suffer.
A light wind, hot day, sun on runway creates thermals. So too for changes with type of surface – blacktop to concrete often found at the undershoot to runway transition.
Occasionally a vertical temperature variation – early morning / late evening can can also cause a disturbace.
