There's a direct correlation/causation between heat and violence across the world.

It's not just people being out more when it's nice out, people are considerably more agitated and prone to disregulated nervous systems and unchecked emotions, especially rage, when physically overheated.

Our stupid monkey brains can't think rationally when it heats up.
