Please send the thunder and lightning down south - I won't complain about it!
Personally I prefer cooler summers, but regrettably that's not so good for crops etc
As for hot summer memories... sitting on nanna's porch trying to keep a glass of ribena cool by shading it with a dock leaf - 1976
Gloopy tarmac
And a couple of years back one side of Oxford St in London being plunged into darkness due to a combination of a problem with cables/electricity sub station (which took out a lot of the spare capacity), and a very hot day with all the shops and offices turning their airconditioning as cool as it could go. All non-essential staff in my office got sent home that day for h&s reasons (the loos needed electricity for the water pumps to work!). Unfortunately I was classed as essential
