We would like to hear your memories of the 1976 UK heatwave

The Guardian is inviting readers to share their memories and photos from the 1976 UK heatwave, a period when temperatures soared, and the record set in Hampshire that year is poised to be broken in the current heatwave. The 1976 heatwave saw temperatures reach 35.6C, equaling the previous record set in 1957. This nostalgic appeal comes as a reminder of the extreme weather challenges the UK has faced historically and underscores the potential severity of today’s climate conditions.
