Things heat up and cool down as the difference of temperature. As long as there is a difference in temperature, heat will move from hot to cold. Actually there is no such thing as 'cold'. Cold is an absense of heat. All things being equal (say a glass, the water in it, the volume of water, the type of water, etc.) heat will travel at the same speed - whether the glass of water is colder than the air around it, or the glass of water is warmer than the air around it. The difference would be the ability of the water or air to absorb the heat. Say it is 70 degrees outside and a swimming pool is at 70 degrees also. It feels cooler in the water than the air because water has more ability to 'absorb' heat. It has to do with the property known as specific heat.

It is easier to apply heat energy, than diffuse it.
