40 years ago, in June 1976, a heatwave dominated headlines - as people got to grips with temperatures that consistently topped 30 Celsius and led to melting roads, overheating pets and a shortage of beer and soft drinks! On 28th June, a temperature of 35.6 Celsius was recorded at Southampton's Mayflower Park, which still holds the record for the hottest June day anywhere in the country! Solent's Summer of '76 wants to hear your memories of those long, hot weeks. Mark McCarthy from the Met Office
