Next we have this one from Dr Prakash Lalpotu, who explains, "The summer heat is increasing day by day. The leaves on the trees are also affected; they are shed to reduce the loss of water by transpiration. This has a direct effect on the birds, who have to sit on the branches without cool shelter."

Neelabja Dutta sent in this pic, "taken in Wayanad in Kerala. The spider was busy webbing its home on a hot afternoon," she says.

These summer flowers blooming in the UK were contributed by Rajesh Toleti.

And finally, we have this photograph from Ravin Rawal of New Zealand, which captures his son jumping into the rock pools at Sunset Beach.
