The answer to this has to be yes. There is a teeming mass of anecdotal evidence available, particularly on the Internet.
Unfortunately, that actually lessens its value, since there is available on the Internet an increasing amount of anecdotal evidence of absolutely anything you care to name, from UFOs to Princess Diana murder conspiracies.
The question should not be about volume - the weather has always been a default talking-point, probably since the first dinosaur hunt was delayed by a damp outfield. So the fact that every man + dog can air an opinion that is heard by gazillions of other people is not, in itself, particularly useful.
From my own viewpoint, I can categorically report that in my youth the days were substantially warmer, longer and more carefree than they are today. I would however resist the notion that anyone should use this anecdote as evidence of anything more than misty-eyed nostalgia.
