Is this dollar spot?
 

During the, now almost forgotten, long hot dry spell I tried to ensure
that my lawn was kept well watered. Even so, brown patches started to
appear and have spread. I can't see how drought could be the cause.
Could it be overwatering?

I've watered it and covered it for a day to see if it's leatherjackets,
but none showed up.

The only other thing I know of as a possibility is dollar spot but it
started about a month ago and my book says that happens later in the year.

Any ideas? Whatever it is, any ideas for treating it?

TIA

Leave it, when it starts to rain, it will recover.
