I especially hate *early* heatwaves - at least if they occur in late
August, you know relief isn't far away.

Also I think the body acclimatises to a degree over the course of the
summer, so that one can cope a little better in August than in June.
Against that, I think the nights tend to be hotter in August heatwaves
than they are in June, and hot sticky nights when it's hard to sleep are
perhaps the most unpleasant feature of heatwaves.
