Bats do not sweat, nor do they pant like a dog and thus they are exceptionally sensitive to hot weather.

When we had our recent hot spell, we had bats dropping dead all over town from heat exhaustion. There were 85 dead bats found in one parking lot alone.

Heat may have thrown off the radar of some of the recent bat crashes. Or, they also have difficulty navigating when they have rabis (quite common in bats). Rabid bats are very contageous.

Happy dreams to those of you who have been bat struck.
