It's not unusual for the temperature to reach 27℃ in September but it still surprises us when it does, and moreso when it is a run of three or four days with similarly high values. And, just as we humans seek shade and cooler spots at such times, so too do cattle. Those that graze in the fields next to the River Monnow at Monmouth have the luxury of paddling in the shallows or lazing on the damp sands. But, as I've remarked before, while that is understandable, doing in so in a tight bunch would seem to negate any benefits.
