I remember 76. Sure quite a few on here do too.
Loads will
what they may fail to remember is that although it felt hot at the time it was 3 degrees colder than is forecast today and 6 degrees colder than is forecast tomorrow (UK not Hull)
It's fine saying you're OK of course, but some more vulnerable people won't be.

The current heatwave is expected to last a few days, in 1976 it was weeks of over 30 and the months before and after the peak were hot too.

In 1976 the temperature was the same as a hot day in Greece, tomorrow the temperature here will be above that of an average day in the Sahara Desert, which is really quite hot.

That said, I was once in Las Vegas during a heatwave and it hit 46 degrees, which really was unbearable.

Of course being an average there are cooler times in the Sahara. But they have a couple of months where it doesn’t dip below 42c not a couple of days where it is that high. They also have colder nights at times than we do.,Heaven knows how the railways here and others would cope with that.
