Rio to host 2016 Olympics

OK, having the summer games in Rio when it's winter in the southern hemishpere. Folks attening might like that since it looks like average highs in the winter are the upper 70's, Chicago in the summer can get really hot and humid.
 
Being NBC, it won't matter and we'll still get screwy delays.
They showed some stuff live last year. That'll be harder do next time in London unless they hold events in the middle of the night. I bet there will plenty of live action in the Rio games. Besides it's 7 years from now. Who knows how sports will be televised by then?
 
So will that be Northern Hemisphere Summer or Southern Hemisphere Summer? When they had the Summer Olympics in Melbourne, it was in November/December as I remember.

When the Olympics were in Sydney they were in late September, but I think they will be in August in Rio. While that is technically winter there, their climate is tropical like Miami so weather shouldn't be an issue.
