Many Britons would shy away from attempting to pronounce the longest place name in Wales, but one weather presenter has impressed the nation by taking on the challenge live on air.

Midway into a broadcast, Channel 4 Welsh weather presenter Liam Dutton is seen smirking in anticipation of the name of the village he will have to eventually say.

But rather stalling and stumbling over syllables like many would, Mr Dutton made light work of pronouncing Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

With a subtle smile on his face, Mr Dutton said: “Now today we had a big contrast in temperature across the UK – just 12 degrees off coastal parts of eastern England with cloudy skies.

“But in the sunshine in North West Wales, at RAF Mona just up the road from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, the temperature got to 21 Celsius, that’s 70 in Fahrenheit”

Mr Dutton’s effort left viewers impressed, with many commenting on his feat on the Channel 4 News Facebook page.

Nutellas Reg commented: “How long has he practiced that? He smiles and feels satisfied after saying it hahahha”.

John Morton posted: “The main problem with weather forecasting in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is that by the time you've read it out the weather's moved on.”

And Paula Wellington Lewis added: “Best weather broadcast ever! Be looking out for him!

"Someone's got a bit of fun in them! I hope he does loads more. Top entertainment.”
