I won't say hotter because hell, it's always hot along the Gulf Coast. Once it gets past 100F and 95% humidity, it really doesn't matter anymore.

If I grew it inside in a window box would that mitigate the bitterness, instead of outside?

Hell, it's 80% humidity and 63F here at 8pm and it's March.
