How the infamous heatwave of 1976 compares to temperatures these days

Now this brings back memories!
At the age of fourteen I just took it all in my stride. We did the usual stuff, went fishing, hung around Regents Park in Central London, didn’t really bat an eyelid.
There were no standpipes in the west end… unlike less well developed parts of the country :wink:

And those bloody ladybirds, they got everywhere! The little blighters even found their way into a couple of my Shiphams meatpaste sandwiches while holidaying on the beach with my family in Winchelsea :open_mouth::lady_beetle:

I can’t believe it actually went on for ten weeks!
The last few days has been more than enough thank you :sun_with_face:
