🌧️ Heads up, Wales! The Met Office has just issued a 15-hour yellow weather warning for this Thursday, January 15, as a band of heavy rain could hit 13 parts of Wales, causing potential disruption and even flooding. 🌧️
If you’re in Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Swansea, Torfaen, or the Vale of Glamorgan, prepare for “substantial rainfall” from 9am to 11pm.
After last week’s wild weather from Storm Goretti, with its snow, rain, and wind, things are still pretty wet underfoot. The Met Office warns that any additional rain could lead to flooding in some areas. Expect 20-40mm of rainfall generally, with 40-70mm possible in a few spots.
🎒 Here’s how to get ready:
– Check if your property could be at risk of flooding and consider preparing a flood plan.
– If you’re out and about, check road conditions, public transport schedules, and tweak your plans if needed.
– Prepare for potential power cuts with torches, batteries, and a charged mobile phone power pack.
Keep an eye on the weather updates as situations can change quickly. Stay safe and dry, Wales! 🌧️🚗🌧️
