I lived on the Isle of Wight during the summer of 76 , set aside the weather, what a time that was! ..my speedo tan lines only just fading! ...I think we had 70 days with the temperature over 27c/80f during that 3 month period, but I also believed that 12-15inches of rain fell in September..can anyone verify? I think there used to be a met man called ken Hoskings who kept detailed records.
I would be very interested in the accurate details.
