Raining in Pembrokeshire village, Eglwyswrw, for 81 days
A Pembrokeshire village has endured 81 consecutive days of rain, making it possibly the longest run of bad weather in Britain for 92 years.
But it would need to rain for another nine days if residents at Eglwyswrw, near Cardigan, wanted to beat a record 89 days set in Scotland in 1923.
Eglwyswrw farmer John Davies said it was a record villagers wished to avoid, as the rain had become "grinding".
And they might get that wish as forecasters said Saturday could be dry.
