Mangos don't do well in cold weather, especially as temperatures dip toward freezing. "However, they grow well in sunny and very hot spring times and summers," Cuccio told Green European Journal .
However, the sign of the disease is not as prevalent in temperatures that are higher than 15 degrees Celsius. The reason for the malformation in the Mallika species is due to the cold temperature causing the mango to produce higher than normal levels of ethylene, which is a chemical produced when the mango exhibits either abiotic or biotic ...
Sufficient stress from extreme external temperature may cause injury or death if it exceeds the ability of the body to thermoregulate. Hypothermia can set in when the core temperature drops to 35 °C (95 °F). [2] Hyperthermia can set in when the core body temperature rises above 37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F).
In 1847, Carl Bergmann published his observations that endothermic body size (i.e. mammals) increased with increasing latitude, commonly known as Bergmann's rule. [9] His rule postulated that selection favored within species individuals with larger body sizes in cooler temperatures because the total heat loss would be diminished through lower surface area to volume ratios.

Thermotropism or thermotropic movement is the movement of an organism or a part of an organism in response to heat or changes from the environment's temperature. A common example is the curling of Rhododendron leaves in response to cold temperatures.
An ectotherm (from the Greek ἐκτός (ektós) "outside" and θερμός (thermós) "heat"), more commonly referred to as a "cold-blooded animal", [1] is an animal in which internal physiological sources of heat, such as blood, are of relatively small or of quite negligible importance in controlling body temperature. [2]
Hawaii is the only state to not record a subzero temperature: The coldest temperature recorded in Hawaii is 12 degrees at the Mauna Kea Observatory, at an elevation of 13,796 feet, on May 17, 1979.
A summer drink called aam panna is made with mangoes. Mango pulp made into jelly or cooked with red gram dhal and green chilies may be served with cooked rice. Mango lassi is consumed throughout South Asia, prepared by mixing ripe mangoes or mango pulp with buttermilk and sugar. Ripe mangoes are also used to make curries.
