Talk:Long Hot Summer (The Style Council song)

The British Long Hot Summer of 1983

When Long Hot Summer was written by Paul Weller, presumably in early June 1983, he could not have anticipated that the British summer of 1983 would turn out to be one of the best on record. Reference to various meteorological websites reveals that the first half of June 1983 was decidedly average. However the month of July was, with a mean temperature of 19.5° C, the hottest July of the 20th Century outshining even July 1976 – and was until 2006 the hottest July on record. August 1983 was also above average with an average temperature of 17.3° C.

This provided a highly appropriate backdrop to the song. Pure luck and coincidence, or an example of the genius and vision of Paul Weller? That's a matter of opinion! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark759 (talk • contribs) 14:46, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
