Is this normal for one of these egg-frying Intels?

Yes. Grab a copy of smcFanControl and bump up the fans for a few
minutes when it gets a bit toasty.

Interesting. Makes an incredible difference immediately.

I can hear the fans above 2400 rpm, but not below that.

For some reason I find it weirdly exciting that this computer has 13
temperature sensors. Pity none of them actually measure ambient air
temperature, although there is one called Ambient Air. It can't be room
temperature though - I wouldn't be sitting here in loads of clothes if
it really was 38 degrees in here.

You would if it was 38 degrees Farenheit, which has been the outside
temperature here all day (Peter, sorry Pete, Cockcroft on the London
news said it was going to be 10 degrees C in High Wycombe today, and
that's only about 10 miles down the road, if that. Well, the outside
thermometer here never got above 3 - and we're not in the Chilterns or
anything).

I've given up trusting forecasts.
