It's the pumpkin season - people buy them in October to make jack o'lanterns around Halloween. (And also to eat, of course.) The hot weather had actually brought the crop forward while making the changing of foliage colour late. It was in the 80s most days when I was there, which isn't bad for Oct.
All these "accidents" were completely avoidable. If the Mccanns had had a babysitter, and if these poor people who drowned had taken notice of an off-duty lifeguard who insisted they did not swim, then they would all still be here. People really have to help themselves.
