Title: UK Heat August 1995
Post by: Sheldybett on June 10, 2019, 03:23:13 PM
August was the hottest month since records began in 1659 with an average temperature in central England of 19.6C, beating 18.7C in 1975. The hottest day was on 1 August when 34.3C was recorded at Heathrow Airport.

Similarly, while Summer 1995 laid siege to the records - the second driest, third hottest and fifth sunniest - it claimed none.

I think this should be in the international forum.
