Its not the heat rising from the runway.
The colder air of night itself just gives much greater performance to fixed and to rotary wing aircraft.
On a cold day a plane takes off in less distance and climbs better at any given weight crom gross down.
Helicopters can lift more, liftbit faster, and hover at greater altitudes in cooler air.
