I would have to say yes, it has.
I've been enjoying the weather in general but it's been far too hot for fishing which is something I never thought I'd hear myself say, especially during a fortnight's holiday from work, but where I'd usually be on the river looking for a few Barbel I've left them alone throughout all but the very beginning of the heat wave and the resulting low oxygen levels.
That's not to cause any disagreement with those who haven't abstained but it just felt like the right thing to do for me and I'm assuming that DOL's can very throughout individual stretches of river such as close proximity to weirs, rocky and broken stretches of water surface etc. and I'm in no way condemning it.
It has in turn though left me feeling a bit lethargic about the whole thing, just having the odd session here and there whilst trying to be enthusiastic about things.
Have you been out as usual or have you pegged things back during the heat?
