1959 was the first superb summer I remember, followed by I thought 1976...or was it indeed 1975?
Best regards, John

I remember going out of the house on the 15th April 1976
and thinking..... it's too HOT for a jacket, so I took it
off and took it back into the house. Never wore a jacket
after that until about October Very hot summer

It was indeed `76 - we were running a country club with swimming pool and large grounds - very popular with the members as we had a liquor licence until 2-00am ( very rare in those days )
We then had a flood at the end of the year because all the ditches had drain covers which had become stuck and didn`t let the water run off.
Chilly here now with some sunny spells - 13 days to Cornwall..........hurrah !

1976 was the great summer true - unless you were pregnant (as I was) or eaten alive by ladybirds (ditto).
But 1975 was also a lovely summer. Not the non stop heatwave of 1976 but just a lovely warm sunny summer. Even in North Wales we managed two weeks of rain free holiday that year, and September 1st was a glorious day (my wedding day so I remember it well :wink.
Today is even colder and nastier than yesterday. I am off out in a bit in search of wood for the fire.

Hmmm - I have memories of a very hot summer in either 1960 or '61 - and I'm inclining to '61 because of where I was working at the time.
I was introduce to the joys of Iced Coffee
1964 I was married and I distinctly remember the heels of my gold shoes sinking into the tarmac while standing outside the Church for some pictures

I'm pretty sure if you were in that anywhere within a hundred miles of London you would either get locked up or blown up!
