If we didn't live in the west country which is not suffering from a
water
shortage, I'd go with that. As it is, we've had hot and dry but no
drought.

How about "Hot and dry enough to make some trees start shedding leaves" .

They're not. Yet.

OK "hot and dry enough to make whatever changes to the foliage you've
noticed where you are". We've got some shedding leaves here (Reading)


Or there is your theory that trees have predictive powers and know what
the
weather will do in 3 months time and are shedding leaves now...but why?If
its going to be an early autumn, they should shed them as late as
possible
so as to build up resources for a longer than normal winter. Maybe your
trees think its going to be a _late_ Autumn?

Maybe they do. I don't talk to the trees and they don't listen to
me.........
