What are some possible reasons that my feet and ankles swell when it gets hot outside?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swelling: Heat can act as a vasodilator which can open blood vessels more and gravity carries it down. Do you have any health problems? Hypertension, CHF etc or are you without any systemic problems. This info would be helpful to give a better answer.
