Only if the cooling system is marginal.   A proper cooling system should 
have enough headroom to keep engine temperatures under control regardless of 
outside temperature; that's with a thermostat and radiator working together.

My Pantera with its old-school Hall Pantera radiator and Meriah pusher fans 
runs down the road at 190 degrees +/- 10 degrees whether it's 60 degrees or 
110 degrees outside (radiator temps verified with a heat gun).
