Shade, insulation, air conditioning. Could be any or all of these.

Given time temperatures reach equilibrium. For example, put a hot rock in a bucket of cold water and after a while the rock has cooled and the water warmed so they're both at the same temperature.
In much the same way the inside of a building will warm or cool to the same temperature as outside (assuming no other factors are involved such as air con or heating).
In your case the outside temperature will have been below 60 and this has cuased the inside to cool down. Now that the outside (ambient) temperature is higher the room will start warming up again.
The more ventilation there is the quicker the room will warm up. But... everything in the room including the materials used in the construction of the room take time to warm and cool. If you opened all the doors and windows and filled the room with the warm air from outside then closed the doors and windows the room would cool down again because the walls, floor, furniture etc will absorb some of the heat. The same thing happens when it's warm inside and cold outside, the fixtures and fitting radiate heat and take several hours to cool to the outside temperature.

The inside temperature adjusts to the temperature outside. The low point was lower than 60 degrees, now given some time it will begin to adjust upwards toward the 74 degree mark. This is all presuming that air conditioning is not the reason for the difference.

The answer could be found in a number of areas. What is the foundation of "inside" made of and how was it made? What type of insulation is used in separating "inside" from "outside"? What part of the day and in what relation to the day's high and low where the temperatures observed? What type of materials are used in the construction of the ceiling and how far over the top of "inside" does the roof hang? Where are the windows of "inside" in relation to the sun's position as it moves across during hours of daylight? Are there trees to hide "inside" from the sun? Are the walls designed and ventilated to allow cool air to circulate in at low points and heat to circulate out at high points in the building? Is the use of electricity (which generates high amounts of waste in the form of heat) being kept to a minimum? Is most of the building constructed underground? Are windows insulated or designed to reflect the sun away from the building? Is the floor of "inside" carpeted or covered in some material that is not easily heated? The possibilities are endless. Does water flow beneath the occupied grounds and, if so, how close to the surface? Hope this was helpful even though I provided my answer in question format.

As pointed out, night time lows can be much cooler than your daytime temperatures. There are air conditioning systems and ways to build your house that allow you to "collect" this cold for use during the warmer days. It keeps your house cooler with less or no need for freon-based AC. You use less energy, release less ozone depleting emissions.
A win-win situation.

maybe cause you have the AC on or because your house is facing the Windy side.
