It's not just "too hot". A year or two after EIS of the 747-8, we had a number of 747-8 aircraft grounded in Europe when a cold front moved in and dropped the pressure altitude below -1000 ft. - and Boeing hadn't published performance data lower than -1000 ft.
We quickly produced performance charts to -2000 ft. pressure altitude...
