In the first half of this decade, round where I live (East London/Essex), lawns just died in the summer. For months they were just baked earth covered with yellowing strands of grass; but come Autumn, they'd green up again.
I haven't seen a properly parched lawn for years now.
Is this a sign of climate change, global cooling or what?

It is a sign that the enforcement of hosepipe bans has been inadequate. But don't worry, new powers will soon be passed and it will all be your fault for raising the subject! Shame on you.
Yellowing lawns can be caused by too close mowing.Could be people have stopped mowing so much.
There was a guy from the Met Office on the radio yesterday and he basically said that whatever the weather does it is caused by Climate Change.
So as I've said before, heads they win, tails they win and in both cases we get poorer.
In the early 1970s there were also concerns about climate change, but then it was fear of a new ice age following a few dismal years. Those fears coincidentally ended sometime around the summer of 1976.
I like parched lawns - it means that I don't have to cut the bloody grass!
Perhaps two summers of incessent rain had something to do with it?
