Imagine five months of spring and summer with the weather set continuously fair; such was 1976 – day after day, week after week, glorious.The roots of the great drought of 1976 run deep.
Photo: Water shortages caused fields to dry up, siginificantly reducing yields that year.Source: Deposit Photos This year marks the 40th anniversary of the 1976 drought; the driest 16-month period in over 200 years across the UK and one of the most severe droughts on record. The 1976 influx, which climaxed for a month from mid-July, probably engaged the British public more than any other wildlife event of modern times, for there was no avoiding the swarms. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the 1976 drought; the driest 16-month period in over 200 years across the UK and one of the most severe droughts on record. The 1976 British Isles heat wave led to the second hottest summer average temperature in the UK since records began. Rainfall or Precipitation Deficiency; Droughts take place whenever there is prolonged periods of rainfall deficiency for a season or more and usually when there is a lack of anticipated rainfall or precipitation. Many mature trees suffered from drought stress, mainly beech and silver birch. We have had good summers since, notably during the mid-1990s, but none with the prolonged intensity of 1976, though 1989 shadowed it.
(The 1995 summer was marginally drier but ground water supplies were in a more robust state.
But, most remarkable of all, no one mentioned the term climate change; it hadn’t been invented. There are accounts of holidaymakers running from holiday beaches, for people had flocked to the coast, seeking cooling breezes.The ladybirds were biting people, apparently. GO OUTDOORS The news was dominated by accounts of spectacular fires, on the Surrey heaths and the North Yorkshire Moors.
Growth of the trees is still restricted more than 30 years later, a study in the journal Functional Ecology said. Already have an account with us? We look back on the Great Drought of 1976 and the impact it had on British people, wildlife, farming and the landscapeIt is more than 40 years since the remarkable ‘long hot summer’ of 1976, when Britain briefly experienced a Mediterranean-style climate, some places ran out of water, many more nearly did, and ladybirds abounded. Fish perished in their thousands, and many birds died of botulism, as disease built up in stagnant, de-oxygenated and nutrient-enriched water. The grass stopped growing, then browned off so that farmers had to feed barley straw and hay to hungry stock, while providing thirsty animals with water became increasingly nightmarish. More predictably, trains caught fire, car radiators overheated, and miles of tarmac roads melted and remained viscous.1976 was a year of extremes. At the same time, the country suffered a severe drought. At winter’s end, most reservoirs in England and Wales were scarcely half full, one in Northamptonshire was almost empty. The two meteorologists view all this as constituting a once-in-500-year occurrence. In the CET record, it was the warmest summer in that series. Then the spring rains failed to materialise.The spring of 1976 was strong, sure, unsullied and dry.
