These people are stupid. Anyone can look at historical weather charts or ask any Japanese what summer is like. Summer in Japan is brutal. You only have to go outside for 10 minutes doing some activity and you're sweating buckets. Now there's a tropical storm coming and the humidity will be off the scale.
Japan originally wanted to hold the games in September but there were complaints from advertisers saying it would clash with America's sporting calender, or some such. Not that anybody is watching sports anymore.
