Here's a Times weather report from 3rd August 1934 on what happened on the 2nd and what the outlook holds.

In some ways, summer 1934 was a bit like summer 2006 with a fairly warm June, a very warm July but a collapse during August. There was notable heatwave around the 7th-11th July 1934

June: 14.9

July: 18.2

August: 15.4

I have to say Kevin, I am amazed that you can find these articles, or even have access to them.

Good work and very interesting!

Thanks Kevin, always informative.

Where do you get these fascinating articles from? Are you a Reader at the British Library per chance? Or do you have privileged access to these historic meteorological archives?

With apologies for being nosy.

No, I have never been to the British Library and I don't have access to the meteorological archives at Exeter or where ever they are kept. That article above I actually have a copy of.
