Weather conundrum for harvest

Hmm, a little conundrum; a colleague and I were discussing a comment she had heard about the weather we are currently experiencing; should one describe it as a "heatwave," or simply "summer"? Well, what a discussion point indeed for the English, such is our obsession with the weather. Hmm, indeed. 

The temperature has continued to rise, with 31 degrees yesterday and something akin to that this very day. The fields around us have continued to turn a ripe golden colour, and lo, this very day the harvest has begun. The air is now redolent with the warm, ripe aroma of ripened harvest, a sweet delicious scent reminiscent of one's childhood spent helping on the farm. Oh, how I do love harvest time. Let us hope the current weather holds 'til the harvest be safely gathered in.
