Called Eglwyswrw. (Egg-Liss-Ooo-Roo)

It's roughly five miles, as the crow flies, from Techno Towers.
They haven't had a day without rain since October 25th.

Which almost certainly means it's been the same here.
No wonder it's seemed like permanent twilight for the past few months.

Cheers - Mr Muddy. (I slipped over in it, a few days ago......I said some very naughty words.  )

Just remember Phill, anything over 2000mm in a year and it's officially a rainforest!

I had two very pleasant breaks in Eglwyswrw back in the 80s when a mate of mine was working in Fishguard.

Danny Bhoy, the Scottish Comedian does a line about Noah in Scotland.

"40 days of rain? Och! We're up to 63 already. What a chancer!"

Seems the good people of Egg-roll-who-knew have the same problem.

We classify as a rain-forest some years, then.  (Which doesn't count, I suppose.)

The year before we moved here, there was apparently eight feet of rain in the preceding twelve months.
I make that nearly 2,500mm.

Sheesh !

Cheers - Phil.

AT least they got on the telly - BBC Breakfast covered it.

There's a village near here too.

That village made the news here in NZ

Don't think they've broken the UK record for consecutive days of rain.....We actually had a dry day recently !
Cheers - Phil

Not consecutive days but they are forecasting 500mm of rain for Fiordland in the south west of NZ over the next 24-48 hours

Yes that is half a meter

Annual rainfall down there is up to 8 meters

Phil - they missed it by 1 day  , R4 a couple of days ago...

Thanks Ian.

I didn't think they'd quite made it, but hadn't heard officially.

I heard some (one ?) of the villagers saying that they didn't want the record.....But secretly, I think having got so close, they would have liked to break it. 

Cheers - Phil

I am sure they will get another chance to break the record

It is Wales after all.

There is a village near us that just got 40" (1016 mm) of snow!
Sorry about hijacking the thread - snowed in
