If your intake air is hot, then the charge air temperature is getting hotter too. If for whatever reason your tune is not checked the spark may be too advanced for this condition or the spark plug is hot enough to self ignite. If it is stock calibration it shouldnt knock as these conditions ie hot and altitude are verified during climatic testing.

Log knock voltage. Check spark plug gap and quality. Revise tune in knock area.
