Warm day in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio...It may be a mouthful to say, but Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in north west Wales was one of the warmest places in the UK today.And, it was no problem for our Welsh weather presenter Liam Dutton to mention it on today's weather forecast.

Video of a British weatherman perfectly pronouncing the 58-letter name of a Welsh village is going viral this week, and for good reason: you've likely never seen something quite so impressive. Liam Dutton, an on-air reporter for British TV station Channel 4 News, was just giving updates about weather patterns across the UK when he got to a small village in Wales called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch — yes, really. Liam completely nailed the pronunciation and made it sound so effortless, like it was his mom's name or something (for the record: it translates to "Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave"). Liam's weather report was posted to Facebook on Tuesday, and the clip has gained tons of steam and popularity.
