Positron lifetime spectra were measured in liquid water at temperatures between 0c and 50c. The long lifetime of ortho-positronium atoms (o-Ps) determined by electron pick-off in molecular substances decreases smoothly by 10% as the temperature is raised. This lifetime temperature dependence can be explained by combining the Ps-bubble model and the mixture state model of liquid water.
