Felt a bit off-colour till the afternoon; white-sky hangover weather didn't help.

Walked into town in the afternoon, hot and humid and full of bastards.

Rain in the afternoon.

Cooler today, perhaps a bit Septembral in the afternoon.

August 25th. Weather much colder, which was good.

August 26th. Even cooler and greyer, quite autumnal. Because August is hot, usually, you forget that today is as far from the solstice as April 15. Definitely getting dark on the way home.

August 27th. Cool and sunny, Septembral.

August 28th. Weather same again but colder, and clouding over ita before clearing again. Indeed quite warm about 5pm. But another autumnal sign - huge flock of birds wheeling over the road in the evening.

Excitingly windy.

Beautiful slightly hazy late summer day. The season is about to turn - saw Capella on the 7th, and the sun was a bit further round to the south in the kitchen this morning.

Raining when I woke up at 6.30, duly fine before eleven. Almost always works, that one.

Definitely cooler today.

Cooled down a bit at lunchtime, much more bearable.

Much too hot today, even more humid than yesterday.

Just as hot as yesterday, plus humid, leading to intense irritability.

'The top temperature was 32C in London on the 10th.' [...]

Even hotter today. Cool breeze sprang up in the evening, luckily. Carried on reading Burmese Days, ideal for this weather.

Extremely hot again.

Gorgeous weather, real August stuff.

Hot and humid again.

Started off warm but turned grey and excitingly windy in the afternoon.

Rained solidly and heavily from 1.30 to 6.30, with some impressive thunder and lightning. 'The height of summer' said a bloke outside Staples sarcastically.
