Not Heard by Americans
July brought heat...a lot of heat.
August brought rain...a lot of rain.
September brought absolutely gorgeous weather...a lot of it.
Regarding this absolutely gorgeous weather, on two separate occasions someone said to me, "I feel like going for a walk in the forest."
It's the "in the forest" part that strikes me. When the weather is nice, Americans would simply say, in my experience, "I want to go for a walk." Or, better yet, "I want to hit the golf course" or "Let's go SHOPPING!" But a walk in the forest? I don't think so.

I seem to recall a bike ride into the "forest"!
