Umm, if it's gonna be too hot then yeah, they shouldn't have to be miserable and sweaty just because. As someone that lives in a hot hot region, it can get really miserable and even down right depressing.
Hopefully whatever they bring is energy efficient.

The reporting on deaths due to overheating are vastly underreported. People literally die. And imagine having to compete in the heat, then come back to your room and still have no relief from the heat. It would be tough as an athlete to recover.
