It’s actually true though, it is coldest just before sunrise. The outside temperature starts dropping when the sun is down and continues to do so through the night.
It’s actually coldest right after sunrise (some sources say a few minutes, some say up to an hour). But the general idea is when the first rays of light hit the surface at sunrise, there isn’t enough energy coming in to offset the amount of energy radiating away from the planet. So for a little bit after the sun rises, it’s still cooling down.
