"Weather is rubbish in North Wales"?
I thought that they printed that across the front of the Rhyl tourism guide anyway!

Oh Chris, Although I now live in the South of Wales, was reared in the North, and the weather is not always wet, in fact, it's often warm and sunny!.......and the scenery is stunning!........

It's been awful all day in west yorkshire today. I usually go out to the shops for a walkabout, but it's been cold with heavy showers today and it's forecast for the rest of the week.

I'm reminded, Welsh, of a day when I drove to Rhyl (from Suffolk) just for a day trip. The weather forecast on the previous evening had stated that the whole of the UK would have cloudless skies, with temperatures around 30C but when I left home at 7am it was raining.

When I got to Peterborough, it was raining. When I got to Birmingham, it was raining. When I got to Stoke it was raining. When I got to Chester it was raining. All of the way along the North Wales Expressway it was raining but, just as I got into Rhyl the sun came out and I had a glorious afternoon there. Then I drove 250 miles home and it rained al of the way again. I turned the telly on to see the weatherman apologising for a duff forecast and mentioning that the ONLY part of the UK which had seen any sunshine at all was the area immediately around Rhyl!

So I have to accept that (just occasionally) the sun does shine there after all!

You will find North Wales is often better weather than elsewhere It is the gulf stream that keeps us warm.
