Ok, So i recently used my magma pit traip for the first time, all went nice and dandy with my magma running through the drain chute into the caverns to drain off the edge, But now that the magmas gone I still have several random stone tiles that are still listed as warm after the magma drained away. It's not causing any problems, I'm just curious why this would be. 

Any ideas?

I've seen this too - when magma flows through an area, sometimes adjacent tiles remain warm, even after the magma is long gone.  It's a bug.  Not much you can do about it.

Temperature is a fickle thing in DF. What's the temperature outside?

Thought so. It's a harmless bug though, I was just curious about it, thanks. 

Also, Loud Whispers, my embark is temperate. At least, it freezes in the winter, and this is happening in the first cavern layer anyway, and from what I read underground areas are all the same temperature regardless of the climate aboveground aren't they?

Another interesting thing I noticed: My trap is filled from a magma moat around the aboveground part of the fortress, and it runs through two channels in silty clay loam.
And the magma seems to have spread this silty clay loam like water spreading mud in the caverns.

As far as I can tell warm/damp stone stays that way indefinitely after exposure.
