The better question is does a glow stick glow longer in hot or cold environments. Here since its a chemical reaction heat acts as a catalyst and speeds up the process. So in warm weather you'll get brighter glow that lasts significantly shorter then a glow stick in a cold environment. Funny enough if you cool down a glow stick enough (about -60 F) then the process will stop altogether.
