Summer 1976

[who can tell]

July this year was recorded as hottest on record perhaps a sign of environmental change. I often hear the older end talk about the blazing heat of 1976 how water was rationed and the ground spilt open due to the lack of rain what do you recall of this summer?

Not much. It was 40 years ago LOL 

We were on holiday in Skegness and I remember this event though

OY cheeky devil - I remember that year very well 

I also remember the summer of 1975 as well.
We had a strange sort of day weather wise when the sky was misty the there was no wind - everything 'very still' 'very eerie'
The following day the sun was out and it was a glorious few weeks which eventually broke during the beginning of September.

The reason I remember this is the heat came as I was finishing work as into my 6 months of pregnancy - I was in the maternity hospital when the weather changed - 

We old people have good memories 

[who can tell]

I can't remember it as I was born in 1975 !

[Umpire]

I think most people remember the snowy winters rather than the hot summers.There have certainly been some bad ones in my life time.

Here's 2 photos from the following year, 1977, the Queens Silver Jubilee. Another great summer I recall.
These 'street party' pics were taken seconds apart by different people with different cameras.
My dad took the BW one. Another parent took the colour one.
Who can spot me, my 2 sisters and my brother LOL

Same age as my daughter then - so watch it - I'm old enough to be your mother

Have to agree with you umpire.
I have a photo of my daughter maybe about 4 or 5. I had built her an igloo we had so much snow which was ideal.
The air was so cold I could see it as little particles of ice shimmering when I looked up.

I seem to remember having snow in June at some time in the mid seventies, perhaps that was 1975. It played havoc with Derbyshire's game against Lancashire at Buxton.

[Umpire]

It certainly did snow stopped play.After that day it turned out to be a very warm summer.

[Old Cruser]

Have we the most unpredictable weather on our Planet do you think?
I can also remember snow at unusual times of the year, can't remember when the snow in June came though.
On Saturday we had one heck of a rain storm here, we can be shivering one day and sweating the next!

The planet's weather patterns are changing a lot faster than scientists ever thought. Many in the scientific community thought that change would take hundreds of years to happen but its happening in half that time. I do think past nuclear disasters like the recent one in Japan in 2011 have damaged the environment even more as radiation levels have increased on land and sea. A few Pacific island nations are likely to disappear under the sea as the ice caps melt increasing sea levels and low laying countries will lose land mass. The Bee population as fallen as air becomes more toxic which will effect food production environmental change was once laughed off as rubbish their not laughing now as reality sinks in.

Japan nuclear meltdown was in 2015 not 2011 old age creeping in.
