Two things can affect the heat of a chili pepper. One is variety,
That I knew.

If all the jalapeno plants are of one variety, temperature or
water fluctuations can affect the heat of the fruit. Generally
speaking, if you stress a chili, it will produce hotter fruit.
Hotter temperatures or letting the plant almost wilt before
watering will heat the fruit right up.
Now *that* I didn't know. Thanks for the tip, Penelope!
