It has been raining continuously in a village in UK for the past 82 days, and the weather shows no sign of letting up.
Residents of Welsh village Eglwyswrw, including farm animals, have hardly been able to go out of their houses and do their chores, while the sheep are having a tough time keeping their fleece dry.
If the deluge continues, the village may beat the record, set in 1923, for the most consecutive days of rain.
This record of the longest rainy spell of at least 0.2mm every 24 hours is held by Eallabus, on Islay, off north-west Scotland.
The rain started on October 26, 2015, giving residents a very soggy winter.
Howard Lewis, 73, who runs a Shire horse centre in the village, told Wales Online: "It's making people miserable, all we are getting is grey skies and rain.
"We've had some bad years but I can't remember it raining every day for so long.
"Every time you go out the front door it's raining - it's raining now." Brian Llewellyn, who runs the local garage and shop, said: "It's been awful - there's no end to it.
"It's starting to hit people in their pockets, you can't get any work done. Farmers, builders and fencing contractors have all been hit. "I sell wellington boots and umbrellas but it rains so much here everyone's already got them."
