Hi I see a degree or more over the weekend sitting on the bench. With some effort that can be brought down to a half degree or so.
The real question is weather you see the "signature" of the temperature showing up in the EFC plot. To be precise do you see the signature of the lab temperature, or (if the antenna is outdoors) the outside temperature? If the EFC signature has either one of these (or both) then you could take action to improve things. If neither one shows up, then you are probably "good enough" on temperature. Of course there is the nasty issue of gradients and drafts, that all assumes that you have some sort of enclosure to suppress them.
