Do Spirit and Oppy report air temperatures on a regular basis?

I've assumed they do, but I don't recall ever seeing any kind of report showing the day-to-day changes.
Over on BAUTForum, someone is asking about the temperature, and it would be nice to have a non-guess answer about the difference between the temp at aphelion and perihelion.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if it's any help, but based on aphelion dates of Aug 8, 2004 and June 26, 2006 and a perihelion date of July 17, 2005, I place these events thusly on the graph from Extreme Planet Takes Its Toll. Aphelions are in green and perihelion in yellow. I did my own calculations so buyer beware!
