Yes: There is something called uhthoff's phenomenon. This is when the body temperature goes up, even slightly, and one can notice their symptoms or more pronounced symptoms. Think of it as the message short circuiting do to heat. Once you cool down, the symptoms improve. I deal with this with my ms.
