Stepping outside the house on a summer evening and smelling the countryside as the sun goes down is a big favourite of mine, (I spent half an hour sitting outside at dusk last night just absorbing the evening with all of my senses)

But wandering down country lanes kicking up showers of fallen leaves/watching the first flowers bloom/seeing the first snowflakes are just as good

If I had to pick one though it would be early autumn.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

But you speak easy with your oceanic weather, don't you? What are the typical top day and night temperatures in early August?

Would I take a deep breath at sunset in the countryside, I would get significant amounts of dust in my mouth, that is above eating a number of mosquitoes...

...that said, having made acquaintance with blood-sucking "midges" in Western Scotland, I prefer mosquitoes.

this is my closest weather station, although it is on the coast so is probably flattened out by a couple of degrees from where I am

So you barely get even above 20°C??? I would have thought 25°C max or something... here is Budapest, courtesy of the NOAA:
