How does 2018’s heatwave compare to 1976?

The heatwave that hit the UK in the summer of 1976 was one of the longest in living memory, and triggered the most significant drought in 150 years.
There were 15 consecutive days when the temperature reached 32C or higher somewhere in the UK.
The Met Office has been busily crunching the numbers to see how 2018 compares so far.
