Hot Weather - More Or Less Hypos?

I've had a few hypos. A couple I had just thought I was sweating because of the heat and twigged quite late what it was. So much easier in winter :-)

Today I had a bit of a turn on the tube and thought I was going to pass out. I think it was the heat. My levels before I got on were 5. By the time i felt Ill they were 10, then went up again to 13 without eating anything. I'm usually between 5 and 8 these days.
 
I’d welcome a hypo, tbh. Can’t get below 7 without injecting a scary amount of insulin, which I won’t do.
 
Both myself t2 and my type 1 friend find that the muggy weather lowers are bg significantly. I think it's related to the high pressure but that's just my theory
