For $f=(r-r_+)(r-r_-)/r^2$, near-horizon Euclidean geometry has polar form $d\rho^2+[f'(r_+)/2]^2\rho^2d\tau^2$. Smoothness gives inverse <temperature> $4\pi/f'(r_+)$ and the displayed formula. This assumes a nondegenerate <Killing horizon> and time normalized at infinity. Its nonextremal limit is zero at $M=|Q|$.
