I don't know... No perks that I know of. I would much rather have a longer growing season. Oh, I can actually think of one... I can sleep at night without an air conditioner! It never gets that hot around here. Never much more than 30C, which is 86F I believe. And I'm the kind that can't take the heat; I like temperatures much lower than that... anywhere from 15 - 25C is much more comfortable to me. 15C is 59F.
