Why is the light before dawn colder than the light after sunset ?

As an amateur photographer I'm familiar with the idea of light having a colour temperature and having to adjust a camera for white balance e.g. early morning light is much warmer than midday. I've read in books on photography that light before dawn is always colder than the light after sunset. I would have expected it to be the same. Why should the direction of the light affect its temperature? Is this just a UK phenomenon or is it worldwide ?
