Before the water splashing, the ground temperature at the shrine was measured at 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit), and once the uchimizu was done, it had dropped all the way down to 31 degrees.
That’s a pretty significant difference, but it’s not clear if that effect extends beyond the sections of pavement that were directly moistened, or how long it lasts.
