If I understand correctly, you claim that local events are a determining element in choosing a destination, to the point that they should guide our research.
My nuance is the following: they are an important factor, certainly, but not always the main or most stable.
Events can transform a stay, but their impact is often conditional on the traveler's motivations.
For example, for a traveler seeking tranquility in Avignon, the festival could be a disadvantage, regardless of its scale.
The importance of events depends on specific motivations and not on a general rule.
L'humidité influence fortement la perception du confort thermique en voyage.
Une température élevée est supportable si l'air est sec.
Cependant, la même température devient éprouvante avec une forte humidité.
Le choix de la meilleure saison dépend donc de l'humidité relative.
Les guides de voyage doivent considérer l'hydrométrie pour des conseils précis.
Reasons
If I understand correctly, you claim that humidity is the key factor of thermal comfort in travel, making high heat tolerable if the air is dry, but a nuance is necessary.
Indeed, the perception of thermal comfort is much more complex than just humidity, as many other contextual and individual factors influence this sensation.
Dry air at 40°C can be unbearable without shade or water access, regardless of humidity level, invalidating the generalization.
For example, an elderly traveler or someone unacclimated to heat will experience significant discomfort even in dry weather, unlike a young athlete well-hydrated.

Skip the cathedral: of course, local events can impact planning, but it is rarely the most important consideration for an average traveler.
More often, factors like weather or transport availability are aspects with lower energy costs for decision-making.
Changing an entire travel plan for an event, unless it is the primary goal, can be a waste of energy.
In the Netherlands, for example, unpredictable weather can disturb a trip much more than a festival, making the lightest plan often the best.
A lack of governance over the evaluation of local events can indeed compromise planning. It is crucial to document sign-off procedures for budget and logistics adjustments. The absence of these clear guidelines exposes the project to overruns, as seen with the Montreal International Jazz Festival last year, which multipled hotel costs for non-participants.
Before convincing ourselves that local events are the cornerstone of a trip, we must consider the exit condition.
The risk is to be blinded by an event and forget all other constraints, which can ruin a trip if flexibility is not present.
In Belgium, a transportation strike can arise unexpectedly, making a festival unreachable even if it was the main reason for the trip.
The true mandate is not to follow the event, but to protect the overall experience against these unforeseen plans.
Isn't it a bit reductive to see local events only as an obstacle or constraint for travelers, even if it is a valid concern?
Of course, availability and prices can spike during cultural or sporting manifestations, which is a real challenge for some budgets.
However, events are also an opportunity to experience a unique cultural immersion and discover Senegalese teranga, offering enriched experiences that one would not find otherwise.
For example, during the Grand Magal of Touba, even if transportation is crowded, it is a spiritual and community experience that many visitors actively seek and that connects them to the local population.
