I have a basement where I swear it's 10°C colder than upstairs.

I mean, given heat rises, the basement probably is 10 degrees cooler

Plus at least part of the walls will be exposed to the ground, not the air, and since past the first layer the ground stays consistently relatively cool, that helps a lot.

Not surprised, my basement is 58-64F (~14-18C) year round, no matter how hot or cold it is outside.
