Anyone noticed any effects on their Hi-Fi gear in the heat?

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Can't say I have noticed anything but I've not had a chance to do much listening recently.
I think warm weather is supposed to improve performance, doesn't warm air conduct sound better or something? And warm speakers should have less stiction I think. but I doubt it improves things to a degree where anyone could tell the difference.

The only thing I have noticed is the preamps and phonostages, which are left on 24/7, are warmer than they would normally be. So too are the power amplifiers after a listening session. In this weather I abandon the Levinsons, which being pure class A, have an enormous heat dissipation - fine in the winter, but not in the summer! When I am at home my system can be in use for up to 10 hours a day.
Can't say I have noticed any audible difference though.

Not Hi-Fi, but I have noticed that the fans on both my PC's are running non-stop when they're on.

I noticed some extra bass boom this morning but then I realised it was thunder!
