I was a teenager and remember 76 well. Not sure I'd cope with it as well now though so I hope we don't have a heatwave.

It's about time we had a summer like that, I remember it too...water stand pipes and bowsers..and it was damn hot...the old "Oak before the Ash, we will get a splash, Ash before the Oak we are in for a soak" saying always works....the ash was out first last year....now that it suffering Ash Die Back....just deserts lol....

I keep looking at the Oak trees to see if they are starting to leaf...

I arrived for the first time in the uk in September 1977 to hear people talk about the mystical "summer of 76" for the next twenty years of miserable summers! I always thought you guys were making it up!!

We were both ten.

We both lived in villages , her on a scorched hill and me in a valley with both a stream and a river in our back garden .

I spent all summer in and out of the river , a lot of the time naked.

Some of the clayier fields had cracks so big you could fall into them.

When the weather finally broke it rained the biggest raindrops I have ever seen.

I was 19 and spent my summer holiday with some mates from work at Ilfracombe and Woolacombe in North Devon.

We met some girls from Newcastle and had a great two weeks. I remember spending most of the daylight hours on the beach in Woolacombe and most of the night at the Cliff Hotel disco at Ilfracombe.

We stayed at a B&B with two lovely old ladies.

I was in training at RAF St.Athans, think the heat made everyone super randy.

I seem to recall shagging non stop with a never ending supply of fit young men.

I believe it was the first time we recorded a temperature of 30 degrees C. Since then it's become a regular thing so those who say we've had awful summers since aren't quite right.

I think we had two consecutive hot summers then and they were bloody hot you can have too much of a good thing but I suspect it may not be many weeks before we have water shortage nature tends to even itself out, I was into water sking then we had a great time
