Sounds like high temperatures increase chances for miscarriage for pregnancies with males. It's not a sex change in womb.

The results show that temperatures above 20°C are consistently associated with fewer male births in both regions – but through different mechanisms.

In sub-Saharan Africa, exposure to high temperatures during the first trimester of pregnancy is linked to a decline in male births.
