It seems like the violence in the middle east came at an especially hot time. Is it partially due to short tempers because of heat? Are there any historic trends that support this?

Studies done in the field of social psychology demonstrate that heat and riots show a "nice" correlation. If the heat rises to a certain level, your risk of a riot will increase. (if I remember correctly, the researchers looked at US cities like Detroit and L.A.)

I've heard that murder rates in major cities go up during the summer. Probably because people are out more, and heat does have a way of making people cranky and irritable.
