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.

Manchester maxima

4th May: 24.7C

11th May: 9.3C

17th May: 7.9C

Which, of course then lead to that "forgotten summer" where we had a two-weeks long heatwave with 28 C and higher recorded somewhere over England every day for a fortnight at the end of June and the beginning of July - but then the rest of the summer fell apart and thus ended up being a less than memorable season in the longer run anyway, hence that "forgotten" thing.
  However, in my case the only real reason why this particular Summer really stuck to my mind was that I had only just started working in a greenhouse as a tomato farmer. Talk about being thrown into the deep end!

1995 was one heck of an amazing summer. It was spoilt by a chilly June which didn't gave way to heat until the last 3 or 4 days. But July and August were amazing.

June 1995 CET: 14.3C

July 1995 CET: 18.6C

August 1995 CET: 19.2C

Yet for some reason this summer still goes down as the forgotten summer. I've often assumed it was because the June spoilt it.

If the hot spell had commenced 10 days earlier in June - I reckon that would have tipped it to the hottest summer ever.

That summer was unforgettable. 

For any weather enthusiast, it is one of the most famous summers. 

The whole year was unforgettable.
