St Swithins Day

That's all we need ! 40 days of this!

Swithin was born around the year 800 and was Bishop of Winchester.
Unlike other religious figures, he asked not to be buried in a prominent place within Winchester Cathedral, but outside in a simple tomb "where the sweet rain of heaven may fall upon my grave".
The legend says after his remains were moved inside there was a great storm and it rained for many weeks after. According to the saying, if it rains on St Swithin's Day it will rain for the next 40 days. 
Weather experts say that since records began in 1861, there has never been a record of 40  wet days in a row following St Swithin's Day.
