Probably for a similar reason to why the coldest part of the night is
not (necessarily) midway between sunset and sunrise.


Not quite the same effect. In clear weather daytime maximum temperatures lag
the maximum solar radiation (1200 local) by a few hours, but night minima nearly
always occur just before sunrise.
