Same in the desert Southwest. Hitting 60's in the daytime but nighttime can see temps in the 20s and 30s. The high desert is always wild on the diurnal temp swings. It can go from 65F in the afternoon to 25F by midnight in winter. A 40 degree swing in under 12 hours.
That's why thermal mass (concrete) works best in house construction walls out here. The concrete moderates the swings as it's thermal mass is slow to change so it holds the heat it got from the daytime sun and then releases it slowly at night.

Current temp as I type is 14, "feels like" temp is -1. Snow on the grass and tons of salt on the road so the vette is hibernating. Never missed spring and summer as much as I do now, then again I'm a new vette owner. But if I lived in Florida I'm sure I'd have twice the miles on the car and probably be a whole lot happier!
Nice pic OP, my car is the same color. Is the spoiler from EOS?
