Two possible causes that I can think of are: a) increased blood flow to the skin due to dilation of capillaries in response to the environmental temperature; and, b) possible cross-sensitization due to environmental triggers, e.g. pollen or volatile organic hydrocarbons or photochemical smog.
Or both.
