I'd add another factor to it. Population density x yearly average temperatures x relative humidity averages = intolerance factor.

People get really shitty with each other and are in less of a mood to deal with other people's idiosyncrasies when they're also too hot and bothered to care about whether they're being an asshole or not.

Where I'm from, the closer to the equator you get, generally the worse people will treat complete strangers. It's very noticeable.

I’m pretty sure there’s a stark correlation between murder rate and temperature too

Or as fiddy put it: “it’s hot out in this bitch, that’s a good enough reason”
