Well, you're on the eastern end of the building, so being in the shade might have helped somewhat, and I think a significant portion of the heat later on in the day was from the humidity building up to that massinve storm last night, so as long as the windows weren't open, that could have played a part. Also, the alley itself could have helped to some extent, as the hot air would have risen, making a breeze as air from outside the alley moved past your apartment into the lower presssure zone created in the alley.
However, I think a far more likely explanation is that the the previous occupant of your apartment was a witch, so you can consider yourself lucky. Also, look around for any spellbooks that might have been left behind.
