Hot weather cause flooding?

By any chance does hot weather cause flooding to the engine? Seems like it in the mazda manual.

Well I can control the start up using my kill switch.

I just leave it on the off position when I crank it, as the rpms build before it dies, I switch it on. And it works perfect.

I was just wondering if it tended to flood more in hot weather?

every time mine has flooded (3 in five years), it was cold and rainy...if you have to use a kill switch to keep it from flooding (and you let it warm up every start), then you've got other problems (injectors, compression...)
