Air becomes warm when the particles start bumping into each other, creating friction and heat. Since this is a constant happening, the heat does not recede quickly like it does when you rub your hands together; instead it continues until the heat source is taken away and the particles slowly recede and stop being warm.

I also think, but I am not 100% sure, that warmth travels faster through liquids and even faster through solids but you cannot rely completely on that.
