There is often said to be a 'summer slump'. IME, sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Depends on where your main buyers are located. (cDec 22 - Jan 10 is generally slower.)

August is moving quite nicely here.  July was terrible.

Sales were dropping since April but this August sales just nosedived with around 40% decrease and it has been the worst month in the last 3-4 years. I don't know what's causing this and it's concerning.

Not over all the UK. Scottish schools went back in over the last week - ten days.
My iS sales seem to be relatively good this month, but number of sales has little relationship to $$ earned.
Alamy sales are level with previous months but mostly extremely low values (<$1 net) (new bulk deals, apparently, nothing to do with August per se).
