On June 2nd 1975 it famously snowed in many places in the UK,
yet less than a week later temperatures were in the 80s

OK it won't snow on June 2nd this year but it looks like there will
be quite an intense low, more like January than June.
And less than a week later, we could well be in the 80s!

Interesting how exactly 40 years on the weather could well be
about to make another dramatic shift.

I've been thinking about that Col. I remember my Mom saying it was
snowing at about 7.30am, I thought she mistook snow pellets for snow.
However, when I looked out the window I was amazed, I thought I was
dreaming. LOL.

I don't remember it snowing, I was only 7, I wish I did.

My mum went to a job interview in Leeds city centre that day
and said that there was sleet there.
I would have been at primary school right up near the highest
point in Leeds so there would almost certainly have been proper
snow there, sadly I don't remember.

I think that might have been the famous snow stops play in the Essex

August 1975 was one of the warmest Augusts of the 20th century and would have been remembered for a long time but for the following summer which as we all know was even hotter, and much drier.
There was the Hampstead storm on 14 Aug 75 which dropped about 170 mm in a couple of hours.

At that time I was living in a flat in Golders Green, well 2 rooms & a shared kitchen to be precise. I was clearly an ethnic minority in Golders Green terms. I remember the storm well.

I doubt it snowed here, otherwise I surely would remember it!
