I have to dress business casual for something. Do I need to wear a tie? And, yes it matters as its gonna be really hot.

Aloha shirt and shorts...

Come to think of it... that's casual, general and formal business attire here. :D

Then they lied to you. There is nothing casual about wearing a tie.

"Ties:
Ties are generally not necessary for business casual, but if you are in doubt, you can wear a tie. It never hurts to slightly overdress; by dressing nicely, you pay a compliment to your host. You can always wear the tie and discreetly walk by the room where the function is held; if no one else is wearing a tie, you can discreetly remove yours."
