A Ross-shire forest has been named as one of the wettest places in the whole of the UK.
A Met Office rain gauge at Glenshiel Forest records a staggering 3778mm of rainfall in a year – that’s nearly 150 inches.
It makes the Wester Ross beauty spot the wettest place in the UK less than 200m above sea level.
The forest sits above the A87 Road to the Isles and is popular year round with walkers, presumably often braving the bad weather.
The figures were revealed as part of a Met Office attempt to answer where the wettest places in the UK are.
The rainfall at Glenshiel is put the shade by the highest UK total which is is Crib Goch near Gwynedd in the Snowdonia National Park.
The high altitude rain gauge there measures a massive 4635mm of rain in a year.
The second highest total is Lake District peak Styhead which sees an annual total of 4562mm.
However, attempts to work out the wettest city in the UK proved more complicated for the Met Office researchers
A spokesman for the Met Office said: “First of all, which measure should you use? There are rain days, which denote every day which sees more than 1mm of rain.
“Then there is total rainfall, which denotes the total accumulated rainfall over a period of time.
“Which gives the better picture of a rainy city? There’s certainly room for debate.
“Secondly, we have thousands of weather observation sites spread across the UK providing data on temperature, rainfall and other factors.
“Towns and cities are generally quite large features on a map and one area could potentially have numerous weather stations.”
