Can High daily temps and constant coating of dust on the batteries effect the run time of my cart?

Yes high temperatures are bad for batteries especially during charging.

What type of precautions should I take besides moving? Charge at night? make sure my cables and connections are tight? thanks Scotty.

I have a hot ac plug on my charger,It is also starting on 15amp instead of the 20amp mark that it had always started on and it runs through the normal cycle but seems to be cutting off before finishing the full cycle. It will hang around the 4amp range for a while like it always has but I notice the APC power back up that it is plugged into is tripping off before the completed cycle. I know my plug and receptacle have seen better days.. can this be the cause of all the above?
