Third wettest summer on record in Wales, says Met Office

Posted on August 31st, 2012

Wales has endured its third wettest summer since records began in 1910, according to the Met Office.

For sunshine it is expected to be the country’s second dullest.

Across the UK experts claim it will be the wettest summer in 100 years, and the second wettest on record.

The unseasonal weather led to the damage of hundreds of homes and businesses following torrential rain in Ceredigion, while a number of summer shows in Wales were cancelled.
