Recently on the Bottom Line Report with Mark Oppold, he talked about how heat at night effects plants. That applies to people too! You’ve heard the old saying, “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.”

Various studies have also linked high temperatures to increased violence in cities, as the uncomfortable effects such as sweating, dehydration, lethargy, and restless sleep make people feel irritated and more likely to act more aggressively.
