"It rains a lot in Wales" is not good enough for the Environment Agency; they want it quantified. So they have created this rainfall measurement station (gorsaf mesur glaw) in the valley of Afon Twrch. The two rain gauges presumably connect to the green portaloo sized hut which relays the data back to base. [First image for this hectad - being the last non-coastal hectad in England and Wales to have images posted.]
