Catania & Baggage

Hi,
On a recent trip to Sicily. We departed from Catania with all baggage (for the whole a/c)being left behind. Our a/c was an MD83. We were advised that our bags were being left behind because the temp outside was 38C and therefore all baggage needed to be left behind.
I must admit I found this odd as I'm sure CTA regularly achieves daytime temperatures of 38C and above.
I would love to get a technical answer to this. Is this norm?
Regards and thanks
