On the scarebus it is normal to leave the slats extended when the temperature reaches in excess of 30 degrees (no hope of that in EDI this year ).

The reason being that the sensors that detect a wing bleed leak can get confused by the temp if the slats are shut and don't get any cooling air flow. Therefore it avoids nuisance ecam warnings in the cockpit.
