The village that's had 80 days of rain
At this time of year many people start hankering for a bit of sunshine, but there are none more deserving of it than the residents of Eglwyswrw in Pembrokeshire.
It's thought that there have been 80 consecutive days of rain there, if officially verified it could be the longest wet spell endured anywhere in the UK since the 1920s.
Sian Jones is the co-owner of the local shop, and she told 5 live Breakfast's Rachel Burden that they didn't realise how bad it was because they're now "used to it".
She said that although the weather has been "a bit depressing" business in the shop has been booming saying: "We've sold a lot of waterproofs, wellingtons, umberellas - they've been queuing out the door for them!".
