One day in the middle of a heatwave is as good as any other day (perhaps even better).
Averages are great for pretty stats, but in reality, you need to know you can handle maximum demand, not average demand.

No, you cannot "safely" rule it out. The parties may not have supported it when we had plentiful [cheapish] supplies elsewhere, but that situation has changed for the [much] worse - if "needs must", it will start to happen.
