A very mild winter gave way to an interesting spring, with this notable cold Easter. This was then followed by a cool May, before that famous cold snap with snow in early June. What's interesting is after these cold snaps, the summer was then very hot and sunny. August 1975 is one of the warmest and sunniest on record.

I suppose this is one of those years that led to the idea that a topsy turvy spring was more likely to result in a good summer. You see that suggestion a lot on the forums. Similar to how a consistently warm spring supposedly leads to a poorer summer.

March and  early April 1975 had frequent NE winds with plenty of late snow showers....remember it well
