I noticed that the red line (temperature) 'dips' 2 or 3 times in the soaked graph. What could that be?

My theory with soaking overnight is that by morning the rice and water are at room temperature, while if you start with dry rice and pour water in just before cooking, the water will be cooler than room temperature. This means you need slightly more energy to warm the water to room temperature.
