Hi slats11,
OK so no spike in TAT concurrent with increased cockpit temperature.
There are very few TAT recordings reported.
However, please see the report published in July11, page 86.
Time 0hr.09min FL. 34.992 Static temperature (°C) -43.5
Time 2hr.10 FL 35.044 SAT -38.8

From the CVR report:
02.06.54 the crew say "Minus forty-two we won’t use the anti ice that’s a plus."
02.08.41 "What's that smell" .. It's Ozone...You can feel already that it's a lot hotter...It's amazing how hot it is all of a sudden.."
02.09.40 Change in background noise (from impact ice crystals)
02.10.03 Engine anti ice is turned on (in response to TAT being warmer than -40)

The TAT has warmed from -42°C to -38.8°C over a very short time.
They must have just entered the warm rising air of a CB.

The Turbine Bypass Valves in the Air Conditioning Packs move slowly, the SAT rise was felt by the air conditioning temperature rise.
