1962/63 winter

1976 Hot long summer.

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

Mine here in Surrey would be the same, with these additions:

The extended summer of 1959, when to me as a child it seemed as though
we had unbroken sun and warmth from early May to early October.
The downpour and flooding of September, 1968.
The remarkable spell of extreme cold and the heavy snowfall in January,
1987.
The blistering heat of 10th August, 2003, when I felt quite unwell
though my aged parents seemed to cope just fine.

I've remembered a couple mo

The White Christmas of 1970. This is the only time I can recall snow
falling in measurable amounts on Christmas Day itself. There was further
snow on Boxing Day and on the 27th.

The heavy rain and flooding in autumn 2000. There was one day - I can't
recall if it was in October or November - when all the roads out of the
village where I live were blocked by floodwater and I couldn't get to
work. This was only the third - and the last - time that the weather
prevented me from getting to work, in a career that began in October,
1968. The other two were the 1987 "Great Storm", when all the roads were
blocked by fallen trees, and the January snow earlier the same year.
(When my bus into Guildford ran as normal, but when I got to the railway
station there was a member of staff outside who said: "There are no
trains. We don't know when there will be any trains. We advise you to go
home.")
