Why it is doing this
What an overnight low actually reaches has less to do with the day just gone than with two things after dark: how dry the air is, and whether there is any cloud to hold the heat in.
A dew point of 72 is tropical. That number, not the thermometer, decides how the heat feels — and it is why the nights barely cool off, because the moisture holds the day’s warmth in.
The sky is nearly clear, so the sun does its full work by day and the ground radiates that heat straight back out after dark.
