Most likely just slight temperature differences throughout the day. Me and my roommates cut off the heat at night to save power(plus we sleep better). Generally your house and certain locations will change temperature quite a bit throughout the day, but its generally only over a range of a few degrees. For example, my room is generally 5 to 10 degrees warmer than the house as I have the only south facing windows(and largest) so I get sunlight all day long which makes the temperature skyrocket. Our AC control is right outside my room so my room stays closed all day to keep the temperature it reads down as the rest of the house is so much colder. The downside is my room gets as cold as the rest of the house once the sun goes down, so my humi unfortunately sees a rather large temperature differential throughout the day.

tl;dr Your house will be more consistently blended temperature wise in the morning so it might be warmer in one spot, but by night time with the heat running only sometimes as it gets warmer out, there will be hot and cold pockets throughout.
