According to Guinness World Records, the record for hula hooping underwater is 2 minutes and 38 seconds. The longest time a team of people have continuously made out with a car is 32 hours. And as of yesterday, there's a new record set for presenting the weather; 33 hours straight.

Eli Kari Gjengedal of Norway's TV2 stood in front of the green screen at 9.30am on Wednesday morning, and didn't stop until 6.30pm the following day, or 2.30am this morning in our time.

During her time on air, she put on a bathrobe, let her hair down, chilled out on a chair, and drank a lot of coffee, but kept the nation of Norway informed on what was going on; which, for the record, was a gentle oscillation between mild, partly sunny, and partly cloudy.
