Central france here and crazy warm 26/27 in the day times and hot as hell at night, We have had no serious rain since the 26 June trees are dying crops have burnt in the fields the ground is like concrete and all the grass dead the berries and nuts died on the trees and we have plagues of insects.
Everyone says they have never seen a summer like this if it does rain hard and heavy now there will be floods the ground is too hard to take it in.
I have not cut the lawn since the second week of july.
