Because the sun is lower in the sky at this time of year it is not so blazing hot as it can be in June, so it is better tolerated. Also we don't get those stifling, sticky nights.
It is strange to be sitting out in the garden in short sleeves with ice creams and the dog panting, whilst at the same time the leaves are falling steadily from the trees, almost surreal.
It is forecast to turn on Tuesday and be down to 14 in our parts by Thursday, but it was a nice respite before the winter.
