I was born in 1977 so obviously I don't remember the summer of '76, but with
this summer being compared with it what was the following autumn & winter
like? Is there a trend between hot/cold summers and wet/dry autumns and
cold/mild winters?

From memory, December was on the cold side and fairly dry. I don't think
that January or February were in any way notable.

I don't think so.

Autumn '76 was very wet. This year has not been like '76 - thank goodness, the
drought that year was widespread and awful.

I consider myself fortunate to have lived through '59 summer, '63 winter, '68
July, '75 and '76 summers, '79 winter, '81 winter, '87 autumn, '87 winter, '91
winter, '95 summer, '00 autumn and now '03 summer.

Cheers,

Will.

Like you, Will, I've lived through all of these seasons and am glad I have
done, particularly the winter of '63 which sparked off my interest in
meteorology. The list goes to show that there is always something notable
weather-wise not too far away. By the way, did you really mean the winter of
'81? It was the winter of '82 that was cold and snowy although most of the
action was in the December (1981).

Hi John, I did indeed mean 81/82.
