That section about the people on the porches enjoying the cool of evening reminded me when I read it of a work by Samuel Barber called Knoxville: Summer of 1915. The words are by James Agee. The opening words are:

rocking gently and talking gently and watching the street ...
The mood is very much the same as in Bradbury's description.
