In the UK here, have you guys had a cool, wet summer too? And if so have people (not necessarily you as it seems you live in a modern well insulated home) needed to put the heating on? I'm in a flat in a late 1800s building and have put it on a couple of times to take the chill off, my mum's in a 1920s semi detached and has had the heating on most days.
Our weather is nigh-identical to that in south-eastern England. I mean, after all, coast to coast theres only 100km between us. We've had a normal summer. Perhaps "cool" by today's standard, but even on average for the last 30 years it's been a normal summer.
June in fact was exceptionally sunny and dry. July indeed was a nothingburger, mostly rain rain and more rain. August was a mix, some good days some bad. What we didn't have this year was any 35+ temperatures.
