Y gwanwyn= Spring

Mai= May

You may be listening to this piece during the Solar Noon in real time as you join others in pausing to watch the world go by live from a bench in Ynysangharad War Memorial Park. This is the moment when the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky of a day, passing a location's meridian. It doesn't actually occur at 12 o'clock in most cases. In Pontypridd on the 17th, 18th and 19th of May, the solar noon is 13.09pm.
