Alarm going off due to hot weather

Hi all,
On a couple of occasions this week the car alarm has gone off - I presume because of the heat we’ve been having recently as it’s parked on the drive well away from anybody passing.
Has anyone else experienced this?

It’s happened 3 times to mine recently. No explanation as to reason. Car had been on a shady drive during the evening. Why would the increase in temp have an effect?

The only time it ever went off was when i was pressure washing mine near the boot area. Much like the door handles not liking water, I suspect them drying out might cause trouble.
You could disable the ultrasonic sensors to help narrow down if its a door sensor or interior sensor.
Mine hasn't gone off at all in the hot weather.

Try disabling the internal or external alarms before exiting car individually if it persists.
Not happened to mine (yet) and gets the fully baked treatment in the afternoons.
