Default Temp causing slack in cables?

Temp has risen here in Philly. And things feel different. For example, starting the bike in gear there's the tiniest of lurch with the clutch pulled all the way in. And I'm having to use more effort with the front brake.

Only thing that's changed is the temp and my gloves. And while the gloves could account for the the feel of the brake lever, they can't account for the clutch. Since both started at the same time (or at least I noticed both at the same time), I'm wondering if 3 days of 90+ heat could have caused the cables to expand a little.

That all sounds normal to me. The bike gets hot, trans can get a little clunky.

I've noticed that about every day lately. Clutch is a little touchier in the afternoons coming home from work than it was going to work that morning.

~25degrees warmer and having sat in the sun all day is what I'm chalking it up to.

So is it worth the bother to adjust the cables just a touch?

I don't think it would help much. It doesn't happen everytime does it? Only after riding a bit?
