People living in Eglwyswrw, Pembrokeshire, have experienced rainfall every day since October 26.
As well as dampening the spirits of locals, it has also caused problems for farmers - who have had to keep their livestock indoors.
However, Eglwyswrw's predicament has seen it gain international headlines as well as close in on the previous record.
Farmer and local councillor John Davies, 52, described the rain as being as of biblical proportions.
He said:
"I think everybody in the village is starting to get fed up with it now.
"The forecast for tomorrow is finally dry weather, but to be honest that's been predicted before and hasn't materialised.
I think people would much prefer some decent weather than for the village to end up in the record books. It is grinding people down both physically and psychologically.
Our sheep are pretty hardy animals but even they are looking depressed. Their fleeces are not getting the chance to dry out because of the endless rain. And I've also had to keep my cattle indoors since October.''
