I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have had it for many years. The thing with it is that it may flare up any time it wants. I take intravenous treatments every four weeks for it as well as a pill daily. I have found that when the barometric pressure rises, my bones hurt.
I recommend you go to the following website for great information and answers to just about any question you have about RA.

This is the Johns Hopkins hospital center for RA and other types of arthritis.

i was diagnosed one year ago, it also affected my toes and the underside of my feet, i found with the heat in summer it made my feet more uncomfortable because feet normally swell with heat,so it could be the heat or your ra is just getting more active unfortunately, known as a flare up
