Default summer v. fall

what kind of time can you cut off your ET when racing in colder weather?
lets say 85 in the summer and 45 in the fall/winter considering same conditions except for the temp.
I've clocked a 13.62 in the summer and it feels like im running a little faster now but the timing system hasnt been up.
any guesses/estimates?

when i got my car new i ran consistant 13.4's (13.4,13.5,13.6 etc) in 50* weather. I went in the summer time 85*+ and ran 13.7's all day long(no change to the car and the 60' times were identical) so in my case i ran .3 faster in the colder weather. As i see it, not with just my car but others, for every 10* drop in temp you would run .10 faster
