Watch This Weatherman Faultlessly Reel Off The Tongue-Twisting 58-Lettered Name Of Welsh Town Live On Air

It’s a real tongue-twister, but pronouncing the longest place name in Wales was no problem for this weather presenter.

Channel 4’s Liam Dutton stepped up to the challenge live on air on Tuesday - and he absolutely nailed it.

Midway through a broadcast, the Welsh-born host detailed how the UK had just seen a “big contrast in temperature.”

He then added: “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.”

With a proud smile on his face, he then continued with the rest of the forecast for the forthcoming day.

Channel 4 uploaded the footage to its Facebook page, and it’s since gone viral with more than 1 million views.

“It had to be done!” added Dutton on his own profile.

Despite being born in Wales and so therefore having what some may say is an unfair advantage in being able to say the name, many netizens praised his effort.

“How long has he practiced that? He smiles and feels satisfied after saying it hahaha,” wrote Nutellas Reg.

Paula Wellington, meanwhile, 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.”

The Welsh town was given its complicated moniker in the 1860s as part of a publicity stunt so that its railway station would have the longest name in the UK, according to Wales Online.

With 58 characters, it translates to: “Saint Mary’s Church in a hollow of white hazel near the swirling whirlpool of the church of Saint Tysilio with a red cave.”

It is the longest place name in Europe, but only the second longest official one-word place name in the world.

That honour goes to the hill of Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu in New Zealand.
