why indoor temperature increase in middle levels of high-rises in openstudio?

I have modelled a high-rise unit apartments of 16 storey in openstudio with and (epw for Sydney) and when checking heat index based on unit levels, I see that high temperature hours start to increase from ground floor to 7-10 floors and then slowly decrease to the last ones. Is this due to the wind turbulence in higher altitude? Has anyone experienced it before?
