Tire pressure vs temperature

I always check my tires' pressure before a trip, in the morning, before the sun warms them up. I keep them at the max sidewall of 51psi.

A few weeks ago I checked the pressure and noticed that all 4 tires are close to 60psi! Is it possible that if I pumped to 50psi on a cool morning (+5 to +10 C), then it would be 60psi on a warm morning (+15 C)? Or maybe I pumped to 60psi by accident (I often pump our bikes' tires to 65psi)?
