My grass has been like that during many summers, but it has never been
watered and always seems to re-appear as green as before during the
Autumn.

I trhink grass is like that. Unlike other plants when they look dead they
*are* dead but given a good dose of rain grass will soon recover.
Presumably they are ultimrely derived from the grasses of the plains
of Africa where they endure many months of drought before the rains
finally come.
