One crop which is likely to do well this year - after a cool spring and a July heatwave - is hay. Haymaking depends on dry, settled conditions, so the recent warm weather will have provided a first-rate opportunity. Submitting this image four days after taking it, I suspect that the scene will already have changed - as the field will have been mown in the meantime. In inland areas of south-east England, temperatures have reached 29C on each of the last three days.
