In this paper we study the time evolution of a temperature patch in $\mathbb{R}^2$ according to the modified Surface Quasi-Geostrophic (SQG) patch equation. In particular we give a temporal estimate on the growth of the support, providing a rigorous proof of the confinement of a hot patch of temperature in absence of external forcing, under the quasi-geostrophic approximation.
