I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'heat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for anger that I've seen before include "Incense" , "Range (anag)" , "Irateness" , "Nettle" , "Wrath, fury" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
