Water Evaporation In Cold Weather

I have been experience some heavy water loss to evaporation in the cold weather we're having in Japan. I have 2 small 100 gal starter tanks for a couple 500 yen baby koi. The tanks are outside in a covered patio and I have heaters running 24/7 to keep water warmer at 55-60 degrees (outside is approx. 30-40 degrees). I have been noticing at least between a 1/2" TO 3/4" drop in water level every 1-2 days. Is this right? I checked for leaks and none found. Anyone experience similar conditions? Thanks.

Carl
