> I remember reading an anecdote somewhere that when it's hot out (temperature wise) that physical altercations increase. The 'build up' to the wet monsoonal season where I am in tropical Australia is well known as 'Mango Madness' season (it coincides with the mango fruiting season). I have two sisters in the police force, my dad was a doctor and my wife is a psychologist. They all concur that the rate of murders, assaults, domestic violence, divorces, street violence, car accidents etc. all dramatically increase during these couple of months.
