I don't think it means to control temperature. Controlling our temperature is like saving ones energy. In the good mood everyone can keep their temper with them they do not try to release as they are in good mood so they keep it.

The idiom “to keep one’s temper” means to remain calm and not get angry, even in a difficult or irritating situation.
For example:
She wanted to shout at the rude customer, but she kept her temper and answered politely.
It is the opposite of “to lose one’s temper, ” which means to become angry.
