Circuit Breaker Too Hot?

I have a 30amp 240 volt circuit breaker for the heater in a hot tub.
With the circuit breaker off, the case temperature is 83 deg F (the
ambient temperature) measured with an IR temperature sensor.
I turn on the breaker and the hot tub. After about 10 minutes,
the case temperature is 99 deg F.
Does this sound normal?
The breaker doesn't trip, but I don't have a reading on actual
current flow.
It should not be that warm, maybe the HT has a short,
