The notion that hot weather makes people more aggressive & violent is well-known in the psychology field.
People tend to be more short-tempered than usual, with lots of reports and analyses showing that crimes, particularly violent crimes, increases during the summer when it's hotter than average. Some argue that the physiological reactions to heat are responsible, raised temperature causes an increase in heart rate & testosterone etc...
Trouble sleeping, and dehydration can contribute to a worsening mood.
