The International Standard Atmosphere is a concept, a datum point, it exists only in your head. At any particular point on the Earth's surface that is at sea level the actual temperature may be +30 degrees Centigrade and we can say that it is ISA +15. At night it may have gone down to +5, and we say that it is ISA -10. ISA hasn't changed; it's a universally accepted Standard.
