As the summer months crept in, it appeared the bravest pair of sunglasses the majority would risk were those with bright-orange lenses (see, the rise of the Aperol-spritz shades). That was before Olympic fever took hold. August has seen us glued to BBC iPlayer to the backdrop of Clare Balding’s musings, Instagram feeds full of Jules Bouyer, and, as it happens, pictures-upon-pictures of the countless cycling-shade iterations which have filled Paris.From Oakley to Puma, athletes golfing and running, shooting, volleyballing and pole vaulting all appear to have one thing in common: a shining pair of mirrored shades.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days.
