    Not good enough. Be more explicit. Take measurements.

    One man's hot is another man's warm. Do you know the temperature at the surface? A non contact thermometer would be useful for this. Offhand, anything under 70°C is of no concern (my opinion).

    One aspect of Apple's wall warts is the finish. Smooth white plastic is
    not a great thermal dissipator/radiator.

    IAC, these devices protect against overload, so there is likely no issue.

    Hot like hot drink.

    if the normally white power adapter takes on an orange or reddish tint,
    then you know it's too hot.
