Is it colder at the approach end of the runway?

If I were to guess (and it's just a guess) I would suspect that the long
open space along the runway allows the wind to blow a little faster (less
drag from buildings and stuff) and pulls down a little more cool air from
higher altitudes.
A similar sort of guess would be that it's the same effect as a sea
breeze. The runway surface heats up and causes a cool breeze towards
it.
Chris, is this in the morning or afternoon?
