This spring we did and cooler temperatures than normal. And now we have this heatwave and little rain. It is so hot, I’m, not even putting the trash out, which is about 4 steps away from my front door!
Big temperature fluctuations WILL slow things down. And I know what you mean about the heat. If it’s not done before 9am at my house on summer mornings, it’s not getting done that day. ;)
