I'm pleased to report last summer's hot weather in general gave a bumper harvest of peat.

In fact their first year has produced a bumper harvest.

That had also been considered a bumper harvest, although much of the grain was lost in the unusually heavy monsoon rains and flooding that followed a few weeks later.

The excess of sunshine meant that solar energy producers had a bumper harvest, but perhaps not quite as obvious was the lack of wind.
