Using the results of de Niem et al. (1985), in which density profiles of envelopes of rapidly rotating neutron stars were calculated, the influence of rapid rotation on their thermal structure is investigated. The temperature profile within the envelope is calculated for a neutron star which rotates like the fastest millisecond pulsar. The calculations reveal a small decrease of the surface temperature and a considerable increase of the thickness of the liquid layer from the pole to the equator.
