This is nuts! Don't mix units. 70F = 21C and 65F = 18C.
Note your thermometers might not be very accurate.

We have something similar. But I attribute it to the fact
that I often close the windows at night. Then the heat stored in the
walls can move to the air in the house. I imagine that air
temperatures are what are being measured, but radiative temperatures
would be about the same.
But 85F? That's pushing it.
