I have to admit that it's been a slow burner up here in Leeds.
Rarely hot, and every day a bit different one way or another. Certainly not even three days in a row of reliable summer weather. And yet it has been dry after the earlier months of rain. The previously waterlogged clay based lawn still shows moisture at the surface and no cracking, but that's a function of how wet it had been. Moss and clover now dominant, sadly.
So I guess the second half hasn't been a disaster, but equally very few sultry periods, and in the main the Hive readings have only maxed at 22C, 3C lower than many summers. That's a direct result of a shortage of insolation, but does reflect the fairly mundane second half were having.
