Cicada sound effects for heat you can hear. That rising electric buzz from the trees on a summer afternoon, swelling and falling in waves. Single insects up close, and whole hillsides of them together. Crickets take over at night, and the jungle mixes it all into a wall of sound. Put a cicada under a scene and everyone in the audience starts to sweat.

Cicadas are the quickest way to say hot. A Mediterranean summer or a humid rainforest, and the audience knows the temperature before anyone wipes their brow. The recordings here come from several continents, so the species and the pattern change with the place, which matters if a scene is set somewhere specific. Some are isolated insects with very little behind them. Others are full summer ambiences in surround, with Bird calls in the background, and Cricket recordings carry the shift from day to night. Long takes loop well, which helps, because nobody wants to notice the same swell coming round again.
