I had a 10 day concert tour to Italy at the end of July. 100 degrees plus the whole time and varying humidity. I noticed that my concentration took a lot more energy and that I had to work harder to play(salty sweat on the chops is never comfortable). I didn't really think about it much. I play with moist lips.
Sound travels differently in warm moist air - you probably heard yourself differently and tried subconsciously to compensate - in addition to the energy sapped by your body trying to cool itself down.
