Does anyone know what the record is in the UK for the number of successive

Here in Carmarthenshire we've now reached 19 straight days on which rain
fell. *I suspect this is still a long way short of the record, but it seems

* * The reocrd here is 21 days, 1 - 21 April (of all months) 1998.
Recording started in 1983. *I've no doubt this is some way short of a

The normal criterion is 0.2 mm but a day with 0.1 mm or "trace" can
still be damp and drizzly.

Longest spell here, by an appreciable margin, was 41 days ending 16th
of January 1994. This is the longest spell without a rain day (0.2mm
or more). There are no other spells 30 days.
