Clear skies & low cloud cover: With fewer clouds holding heat in, surface cooling after sunset is intensified, causing quicker temperature drops.
Dry, calm air: Lower humidity and lighter winds overnight reduce the mixing of warmer air and allow the ground to lose heat more rapidly.
Large day-night swing (diurnal range): Warm afternoons (~26-28 °C) followed by nights dipping to ~9-12 °C create a big temperature contrast, making the night chill more obvious.
Shorter day-length & lower sun angle: At this time of year, the sun’s energy is weaker and days are shorter, meaning less accumulated warmth and thus cooler base temperatures overnight.
