But I remember it was a stifling hot evening.

Even though it was a hot evening, the air outside was cooler than that in the house.

The hot still summer evening was bringing the day to a close.

I can see him now, on that hot dusty evening, holding up his crossed fingers.

The sweat was streaming down his cheeks although it wasn't a hot evening.

What did other women do during these long, hot summer evenings when their menfolk were away?

In the hot evening there was no need of a fire, but the five men sat close and fed the blaze.

It was a hot evening, but a breeze flowed under the buildings.

The neighbours who often sat there in the hot evenings laughing and talking had gone out.

But all the hot, muggy evenings were very good, regardless of how many people came to watch.
