Evaporative cooling is a concern, but it seems to me that it's a more directly relevant concern for moderators or other types of organizers than for individuals. For it to be driving a decision to leave or not to leave, you effectively have to value the group's well-being over your own, which is unlikely for a group you're considering leaving in the first place.
