Yes, if you increase the curing temperature the hydration process gets accelerated and you will see a higher strength results of those concrete cured with hot water.
Concrete cubes should be cured at 27 degree + / - 2 degree, you may use a heating coils or boilers with temperature controller to maintain the curing temperature of curing tank.
If your curing tank is below tree or in shaded area, your curing tank temperature will be on lower side in all seasons, if its in open to sky, tank temperature will go high in summer season.
Temperature on lower side results into lower strength results of the cube and same cubes in summer time could show results on higher side due to temperature effect in case of control on curing temperature is not done.
