I am, we have lived overseas in hotter countries but they are geared up for their weather and the houses are built to suit. Our lawns are history after careful aerating, cutting and feeding earlier in the year to coax them back into life - even out deep rooted shrubs are wilting in the daytime because roots cannot get water to leaves fast enough. If we go on like this I will have to get a Kikuyugrass lawn put in... (tropical grass with the texture of astroturf).

Not sleeping at night makes everyone cranky and listless. Too hot to even play golf - and high pollen is horrible for hay fever sufferers like me (and even the non-drowsy tablets turn you into a zombie). I like it better below 20degC thank you.
