This. My fescue got cooked this year. Baked beyond belief. We usually have about 20 days above 90 here. This summer, almost 70. Neighbor who also happens to do landscaping tilled up a section that was completely gone and leveled a few other low spots the other day. Will aerate & overseed at the end of the month & see what happens.

Also, on a completely unrelated note, we closing in on the time of year to have your furnace checked out by your favorite HVAC person. It always amazes me when someone's furnace conks out in the middle of winter (or AC in summer). When I ask how long it had been since it was serviced, I get answers like "I don't know" or "Never".
