There weren't many reflections at the height of summer with the sun at its most south easterly. As the sun swings back to the north the reflections are coming back.
By 5pm the wind is blowing strongly from the south.
The southerly change didn't bring much rain. It pared down the temperature and reduced the humidity. It churned up dust, leaves and rubbish. But swarms of tiny biting insects had a much harder time hanging around, so it wasn't all bad.
