1962/63 winter
1987 "Great Storm"
1976 Hot long summer.

Although these are obvious for my region I wondered what other regional
perceptions would be.

The only others really are a couple of notable blizzards, the record
minimum low temps of 1982, the high max of Aug 2003 close to me and a T/S
in the fifties that flooded our road so deep that people were canoeing
along it!

I have lived all over the place.

Manchester - Summer 1959 (first time noticed that I tanned easily, out in
park all day at 7 years old)
Ashbourne - New Year 1963 - massive snowdrifts (driving to visit relatives
from Manchester)
Manchester 1 July 1968 thunderstorm all day, widespread pluvial flooding.
Bracknell - Summers 1975 and 1976 and drought images
Binfield (near Bracknell) Dec 1981 - heavy snow on M4 returning from night
shift followed by -20degC in garden and ice needles next day.
Crowthorne - various thunderstorms (cannot remember dates).
Crowthorne - 16/10/87 - The Great Storm (three trees down and chaos getting
to work)
Crowthorne - 1990s (frustratingly mild winters and very hot and dry summers)
Haytor - Fantastic cloudscapes in most months, deep snow with Haytor cut-off
for a while on 5 Feb 2009
