Carb icing might just about be possible at high 20s Celcius, but not likely unless exceptionally humid.

Given the temperature, I suspect fuel vapourisation to be far more likely, especially if MOGAS was used instead of AVGAS.

Evidence of either is difficult to find after the event, except possibly finding small amounts of water in the carb after any icing has melted.
