🌧️ Brace yourselves, folks! Flood warnings have been issued for 20 places across Wales, with both red and yellow alerts in place. The recent downpours have caused chaos on the roads, and the river levels are on the rise, so keep an eye out if you’re near low-lying areas.
🚗 The M48 Severn Bridge has taken a hit with westbound lanes closing due to wild winds, and a crash on the A470 near Nantgarw has also added to the road drama, causing queues all the way back to the M4 at Coryton Interchange. It’s been a rough day out there, so drive cautiously!
🌬️ BBC weatherman Derek Brockway warns the wet weather is far from over—more rain expected on Wednesday and Friday. The saturated ground means more flooding is likely, so stay alert, and don’t drive through floodwaters!
🌡️ Tomorrow is set for more rain, especially in the south—expect temps between 10-15°C. It’s not all doom and gloom though; Thursday may offer a brief respite with dry and brighter spells to lift the spirits. But don’t pack away those umbrellas just yet as Friday looks set for another soaking, with wind adding to the fun.
🏞️ Natural Resources Wales and the Environment Agency are monitoring the situation closely. They’ve got teams out supporting local authorities—shoutout to them for keeping us informed! Remember, even a small amount of flowing water can float your car, so avoid driving through floods.
📅 Looking ahead, the weekend might bring some relief with cooler, drier weather and perhaps a sunnier start to next week.
☔️ Stay safe, keep dry, and keep an eye on the forecasts!
