I don't think my photos look that dry anyway? The grass is green by the river and in the shade.
But it's not green outside of it. It's not particularly dry, but not that lush either. Compare it to Morningrise's landscape of Windsor, Ontario [though it's likely the lawn in the garden has been watered] or some of the ones I've posted.

Those ones of Windsor look more like spring than summer! Some of Cambium's photos look like the Surrey Hills, and the ones Donar posts look like lower elevation parts of SE England.

Which is my point. You associate dryness with summer more than I would; your summers are relatively dry though not Mediterranean or Pacific Northwest dry. Windsor's precipitation peak is in summer.
I was in Windsor, Ontario for a few days last week, very nice and green compared to Vancouver at this time of the year. Didn't get to experience any thunderstorms unfortunately, but it was a welcome change of scenery nevertheless. I thought it was really nice little city overall (and it has my favorite climate in Canada ), would definitely visit again.
Nicer looking city than I assumed; didn't realize it had much of a downtown. Like the photo with a meadow and skyline in the background, I assume that's Detroit skyline is mixed in as well?
Pickles anyone? Pretty much done for the year now. Only a few cukes left on the vine so I wont be pickling anymore. What a year. Over 80 cucumbers. 28 jars of pickles (I gave 2 away so far)
Potatoes and Onions in baskets are from the garden as well.
Canning Tomatoes is soon. Some reason we always wait till cooler weather. Gives that Nostalgic feel.

Agreed, that lush green scenery in Windsor is exactly what I associate with and love about summer.
Not a fan of PNW, SE England, or Mediterranean style dryness in the summer at all.

Yes, most of that skyline is Detroit, up to and including those tall black highrises. Windsor's skyline is only the small section on the right side of the picture. Likewise in the very first picture in my post the highrises in the background are Detroit's.
Downtown Windsor is pretty small but the main street is fairly bustling and lively and there are some great walking trails for several kilometers along the waterfront. It was definitely a nicer and livelier city than I expected, especially considering its economic situation and somewhat poor reputation.

Deep green and lush here even though we're in Drought D1 and hasn't rained much in 3 weeks. Plenty of moisture down below to support landscape greens. (except grasses which now are greening up again with todays rains)
On the right side are all weeds and they grow like wild around here. Fast!
Green, Green, Green.
More Green.
Yesterdays cheating green since they maintain the golf course with sprinklers it would stay green longer then homes without. in Greenwich by the coast near NY border
Back to today...
1.55" of rain today in 4hrs. 68°F(20C). Dying or hurt trees showing their colors now.
Some pics from summer in northern Fance. Driving to Picardy.
This is what they call fair weather, I assume.
Slate grey blanket further north. And a treeless European village.
Spoiler
Dry grass, green trees in Amiens too
Spoiler
Nice riverfront there.
These folks must be swarmed with mosquitoes.
They do have a pretty cathedral.

Does it have that poor of a reputation in Canada? Like the city across the river in the USA?
