Hydration is key: The total amount of calories burnt will not change significantly if you are expending the same amount of effort. The biggest concern is hydration. If the weather is hot you will sweat much more and lose much more of your body water. Staying hydrated is of vital importance when working out in hot weather. Heat stroke is life threatening so don't overdo it.
