Heating the dye definitely makes a whole world of difference, when I first started I couldn't get any color at all with the dyes at room temp. For heating dyes, you can either buy a thermostat setup like the one caswell sells (you might have gotten one with your kit but I'm not sure) or just buy a cheap pot and a candy thermometer and monitor the temperature closely.
ps - the temperature varies a lot where I live too and the solution I came up with was to set up a range hood move all my equipment indoors.
