Avalon is like the Nevada desert in Summer. Not an ideal time for the event. Having a few hundred thousand people out there for a few days in 45C heat is quite dangerous. I have a screenshot on my phone from a turnaround in November many years ago. 47C. I had passengers struggling to even walk to the aircraft.

Also the fire bombers are quite active at that time of year unless they base them elsewhere.
