Starting problems with a 2004 Nissan Micra?

My 2004 Micra wont turn over in very hot weather. I turn the ignition and nothing happens. This only happens when the car has been sat in very hot sunshine. It's as if the immobiliser is stopping the car from starting? It will start no problem in the morning when cool.

Either the fuel in the throttle body is evaporating or the heat is opening an electrical contact.

Cute looks. Not very different from the Fiat 500.
