The summer heat does tend to take it's toll & after 2 distinct grueling heatwaves I am looking forward to more reasonable weather,, when I can do the things I want to without fainting or being drenched in sweat.
Since the 21st century has been upon us, september tends to be a continuation of august, albeit with cooler nights, so we don't see any real autumnal weather until mid-october at the earliest.
Spring this year sorta started in december of last year, so it's difficult to stay focused on just what time of year it is at the moment anyway. The plants on the other hand, despite an unprecedented early start, seem to have caught up & are behaving normally for the season.
It's a good sign, I think, that the plants are behaving normally as it suggests that Fall/Autumn might come at the right time. One of the reasons why I plan to move away from London in the next few years is that Summer starts earlier than the rest of the country (including the rest of Southern England) and seems to cling on longer and be generally more virulent.
