2003: https://historicdroughts.ceh.ac.uk/content/hot-summer-2003 https://historicdroughts.ceh.ac.uk/content/hot-summer-2003

Of course, the heat records and the drought are worse in 2022 than either of those.
And grass turning yellow doesn't necessarily mean that it's dead. It can regrow from the roots when conditions improve. Assuming that the drought is not too long.
