Hello again. Here is week 2's challenge from “Regal Roslyn”.

A Weather Report:

If Les Dennis (Family Fortunes) were to ask his television audience of one hundred the question "What is the most common topic of conversation when two people meet?", the top answer would unquestionably be The Weather! This is hardly surprising, considering the way that the weather affects our lives and the way that we live. The highs and lows of our weather seem to match the highs and lows of our lives, and we tend to recall the scorching summers of long past or the winters when the snow lay deep and crisp and even far more readily than the nondescript wet summers and mild winters of recent years. Many blame global warming for the demise of the classic nostalgic golden summers and snowy deep midwinters of yesteryear, but its cause is still open to debate.

The weather statistics in the British Isles make interesting reading. What are your memories of the hot/cold/wet/snowy/windy weather? Most of us will remember the scorcher of 1976. What memories of 1976 can you recall? Particularly poignant for me - the end of May saw the end of my Finals and then hanging around for 3 weeks to get our results. The weather was amazing and we just laid around all day with nothing to do!! I took my driving test and got my degree results on June 21st - both very successful outcomes. 1976 was also the year I met my future husband! It was a significant year for him too as "his" football team Southampton beat Man Utd 1-0 in the FA Cup at Wembley and he was there! He also saw Elton John in concert in Leeds ( I missed out by a few months! But John is making up for it this June when we have tickets to see Elton at Chesterfield - better late than never!) The temperature reached 80°F every day between 22 June and 16 July. For 15 consecutive days from 23 June to 7 July inclusive, temperatures reached 90°F somewhere in England on each of these 15 days. The hottest day of 1976 was 3 July, with temperatures reaching 96.6°Fin Cheltenham, one of the hottest July days on record in the UK.
