How can I get a smooth 3D animations with restricted change?

The images below are of an pseudo animation of a 3D isograph. The only values that changes is the temperature value. The x, y, and z positions stay fixed for every frame. Is there a way to have only the temperature change between frames without needing to graph new plots?

first_timestamp = '2020-01-01 00:00:00'
    recording = dataset[dataset['Timestamp'] == first_timestamp]
    
    X = np.linspace(recording['X'].min(), recording['X'].max(), 50)
    Y = np.linspace(recording['Y'].min(), recording['Y'].max(), 50)
    Z = np.linspace(recording['Z'].min(), recording['Z'].max(), 20)
    
    x, y, z = np.meshgrid(X, Y, Z)

    points = np.array((recording['X'], recording['Y'], recording['Z'])).T
    temps = recording['Temperature']
    
    newdata = griddata(points, temps, (x, y, z), method='linear')
    
    # 3D graph content settings
    trace = go.Isosurface(
        x=x.flatten(),
        y=y.flatten(),
        z=z.flatten(),
        value=newdata.flatten(),
        colorscale= 'Viridis',
        opacity=0.6,
        isomin=recording['Temperature'].min(),
        isomax=recording['Temperature'].max(),
        surface_count=5,
        caps=dict(x_show=False, y_show=False)
    )
    
    # Create the figure dictionary
    figure = {
        'data': [trace],
        'frames': [],# List of traces
        'layout': {}  # Your layout settings (if any)
    }
