rapid TAT increase

Please forgive my off the track intervention, here but a A-330 pilot just told me that his company had some rapid TAT increases , one of which in they lost 4000 feet.

Rapid TAT increase while in cruise ?could someone explain this ? ?


" total temperature, which occurs on the wing leading or nose of your aircraft. The total temperature depends on the local, atmospheric, static temperature and on the velocity of the aircraft"


Please excuse if addressed earlier no time to read all the posts.
