Stiff Elevator

In hot weather, the elevator control and also the trimmer become quite stiff to operate, making landing a bit difficult - i.e., small control inputs tend need a fair amount of effort resulting in more movement than intended. The aircraft is an Archer III. Anyone else experienced this? Is it in anyway symptomatic of imminent total seizure? (Could be interesting...)
