That's the problem though - we don't seem to get 'a couple of weeks' of anything any more. Flood then drought then flood then drought. Heatwave or unseasonably cold.

Depends how you define heatwave. We had a short spell of very hot days in 2019 - I left my lovely air-conditioned office at about 7:30 in the evening one day and it was still 30C (way too hot for me). Fortunately not last summer when I'd have been sweating it out working at home.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
We definitely had heatwaves here (London) in 2019 and 2020, and as it's defined as 'three consecutive days above a threshold' - ours being 28°C, but Devon's being 25°C - we've had them most years in the last 20 or so but increasing in number and duration each year. Combined with drought is the bit that makes it so difficult to cope with as far as gardening is concerned.

I know thats not hot for some.😆
28C is the temperature I'd have every day in life if I had the choice.
