I'm gonna go out on a limb, here, and guess it has something to do with the sun dropping below the horizon, which, in turn, has something to due with the earth's rotation.

30+ degrees seem a pretty big drop overnight though. Unless you live in the Sahara, or something.

Or on the moon.

Sorry to hear that Mikey. Reminds me of winter five or six years ago here. Except it was snow instead of water.

I don't recall how many feet of snow we had exactly, but it all came down in a matter of three to four days. I was visiting a friend in a small town in rural Illinois at the time, and they stopped ploughing the snow after a few hours because there was nowhere to put all that snow.

You get that kind of temperature drop in the summer in Big Bear, a local mountain resort at 7,500 feet.

[ ] The temperature fluctuation can happen anywhere in a temperate climatic region...it is a natural phenomenal called thermo-inversion...some call it radiational cooling [/ ]
