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.

Yes, but I'd prefer to not have the need to acclimatise.

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.

Doesn't need to be sticky - the heat alone is enough to make sleeping
difficult. Even my normal practice of pre-cooling a pillow in the
freezer doesn't work for long.

To be honest despite the sweatiness and the hayfever I much prefer the
current conditions compared to the last two weeks in May.

That is so *not* true for me!
