A rule of thumb for temperature gradients is 10 degrees Fahrenheit for every two thousand feet of elevation. The north rim visitors' center is at about 8200' in elevation. The south rim village is at about 7200'. River level in that area is about 2400'. Therefore, you're looking at a temperature difference of almost 25 degrees between the south rim and the river and almost 30 degrees between the north rim and the river. I've been a guide leading backcountry hikes at the north rim.
