I'm sure that if you phone the press office at Boscombe Down they will tell yu!!
Even if no hot weather trials were conducted - The system has been proven over the years operating out of hot places like Ascension Island (Falklands 1982), Oman (Gulf War 1 & 2) and Basrah.
Besides, I don't see the relevance of your comment as it's about -40 degrees C at the altitudes where we tank!!
