Hot weather always sucks the energy out of me. I don't think it's abnormal to feel weak when it's so hot -- your body wants you to stop moving, because it's working hard to keep you alive.
Extreme weather also affects your ability to digest food -- your blood is busy doing other things.
Don't ride at noon on a crazy hot day. If you have problems riding when the weather is not so extreme, then you might have a problem.

This makes perfect sense! So in such weather I need to eat longer than 30-45 minutes before I get on the bike...I honestly didn't think of that. I am NOT riding tonight, it is even hotter than yesterday...plus I am going to a TDF watching party that my LBS throws every year
