It is normal to have some power loss when the environment temps are higher.
This has to do with high IAT (Intake air temps) when the ECU see's higher temps it pulls timing to prevent ping ( detonation ) The only way to help prevent this I guess would be higher octane fuel or possibly a true cold air intake set up.

Basically heat = power loss.
