How Much Deviation from Ambient Temp is Normal for IAT sensors?

I've noticed that my air intake temp sensor gives the correct ambient temp reading in the morning when the engine is cold, but that it typically is giving me readings between 7 to 17 degrees Celsius above the ambient temperature. Is that normal and does it have any significant negative effect?
