It was my birthday on Friday so rather than just go out for drinks or a meal, or as we usually do just stay at home and do nothing, I came up with the idea of getting a few friends together...

Proper rain as well. It seems as though it’s been ages since it last rained. According to the historic data on the Borth weather station it was actually on 2 weeks ago, but I guess 2 weeks in Wales without rain is a big thing. It’s perfect timing though. I used the last...

Here’s what I did: In the meantime Morgan ‘Ninny’ and Grandad...

The sun is now shining and at this end of the village it is now a lovely day. If you drive along the main road through Borth you wouldn’t even know it had been raining, but rain it has. The Borth Weather Station recorded 42.2mm of rain...

On the way into Borth there seemed to be an unusual amount of emergency service activity and then when I go to the caravan site that I normally run through it was 6 foot underwater. There were coast guards, the RNLI, ambulances, Fire Brigade...

The whole of West Wales seems to have been plunged into a great big bowl of mist and murk and it’s not at all pleasant out there. Bring back the freezing temperatures...

With 4 miles of sandy beach on our doorstep and plenty of Westerly winds and waves, the seafront from Borth to Ynyslas is perfect.

First up they say there are 18 Flood warnings in place across Wales, but give no indication of where these are. Then they say that forecaters are expecting more rain in the next couple of days and people are being...
