Default Crossword clue to the Summer?

The FT crossword this morning has a 1 across clue:

"Dreadful English summer noted by Puccini (3,4,3)"

The answer of course must be "One fine day".

We'll see.

He wrote an Opera called The Swallow but he tended to use libretists for the lyrics so it would refer to musical notes if it wasn't some sort of anagram. Not a fan of immoral Italians or Opera so I don't know of any that translate to one fine day.
"Un bel di" from Madama Butterfly OTOH...
