Not quite as spectacular as what was going to happen 2 years later but early May 1995 saw a heatwave one day and then a week later, wintry showers.

On the 5th and 6th May, the heatwave reached its peak with maxima as high as 28.6C at Cheltenham

Typically as approached the Bank Holiday Monday which was VE Day that year to celebrate the 50th annversary of the end of the war in Europe, the weather became cooler.

By the end of that week, it became even colder with night frosts and some places even reporting snow

Here are the forecasts from this month.

A foehn effect in the Moray Firth produced temperatures of 22C on 1st May 1995


2nd May 1995


3rd May 1995: parts of the UK were warmer than the vast majority of Europe

9th May 1995: sign of things to come, John Kettley says needed rain is on the way, which indicates how dry it has become, a feature of the coming summer.

"Not quite as spectacular as what was going to happen 2 years later but early May 1995 saw a heatwave one day and then a week later, wintry showers"

What was the event 2 years later, in 1997?

Last post in this thread, it went from heatwave to wintry cold in less than a week
