🌧️ ☔️ Get ready, Wales! Storm Ingrid is making her grand entrance and she’s not holding back! The Met Office has sounded the alarm with fresh weather warnings for us. Expect some seriously wild weather as Ingrid rolls in this Friday, packing up to 50mph winds and drenching rain!
🌬️ Winds are expected to whip up near coastal areas and heavy, persistent downpours could lead to flooding in some regions. The areas most likely to feel Ingrid’s wrath include Blaenau Gwent, Cardiff, Swansea, and Pembrokeshire, among others. If you’re in the south or southwest, brace yourselves for a stormy weekend!
⚠️ A yellow weather warning for rain and wind is in place from Friday morning early hours through to Saturday. With the already soaked ground, more rain means more risk of floods. And it looks like some power outages could also be on the cards, along with travel delays. Planning to go anywhere? Best to check those travel updates first.
🌊 Coastal areas, in particular, need to be on high alert, as there’s a chance of large waves and even stronger gusts. We’re talking 60mph near the coastlines! Batten down the hatches and keep safe, everyone!
💦 The sequence of rain and strong winds is set to peak Friday night, easing slightly by Saturday morning. But keep those waterproofs handy, as it’s not over till it’s over.
Tune into your local updates and keep an eye out for any changes to these warnings. It might be a wild ride, but together, we’ve got this! Stay safe and keep warm. 🌂 #StormIngrid #WalesWeather #StaySafeWales
