Claim 0:
1. A memory system comprising:
a memory component comprising a plurality of memory component elements; and
a processing device, communicatively coupled to the memory component when in operation, the processing device configured to perform operations comprising:
resetting a write temperature counter for an individual memory component element, of the plurality of memory component elements, in response to the individual memory component element being either erased or opened;
measuring an ambient temperature while a write is performed on the individual memory component element;
updating the write temperature counter in response to the ambient temperature being outside of a defined temperature window;
generating, based on at least the write temperature counter, a sort-value for the individual memory component element by combining a Low Write Temperature Counter and a High Write Temperature Counter; and
selecting the individual memory component element for refresh based on the sort-value.
