A cold front was approaching from the West all day, btw - 'perfect' hot/humid/clear weather till about 6.30, with the rain starting at 8 pm.

August 30th. Much cooler today - bright sun and wind and cumulus - altogether fair weather.

'Another hot spell at the end of the month, with 31C in the east on the 29th, before the month ended on a cool note.' [...]
