It does not seem to rain the Northwest anymore so changing a flat is pretty easy

Has coddling tendencies.
I've never flatted at night, so maybe the OP is on to something.

All my punctures have been in the sun. This is southern California after all.

..because the direct sunlight heats your tires, thus increasing the pressure and likelihood of puncturing?

I was "guarding a corner" for a century ride, my bike was in the grass and the sun for about 45 minutes and the rear tube popped.
