Currently, there are over 40 flood alerts and warnings in place across Wales. Natural Resources Wales has cautioned about possible flooding in low-lying areas, minor roads, and coastal regions. Expect issues in areas like Anglesey, the Gower Peninsula, and several river catchments including the Usk, Rhymney, and Taff.

The weather forecast promises a damp and dreary start to the week, with widespread rains, strong winds, and coastal gales primarily affecting southern areas. Temperatures will be on the milder side, peaking at 13°C.
