🌧️ Brace yourselves, South Wales! The Met Office has ramped up its weather alert to an amber ‘danger to life’ warning due to heavy rain expected from late Sunday through to late Monday. This severe weather warning covers nearly all of the southern third of Wales, from Pembrokeshire to Monmouthshire.
Here’s what’s on the horizon:
– Widespread rainfall of 20-40 mm is expected, but some spots could see up to 120 mm, especially on south and southwest-facing high ground.
– Strong south to south-westerly winds are set to accompany the rain, with gales likely around coastal areas and over high ground.
– Travel might be a nightmare with potential road closures, delays, or even cancellations on buses and trains. Driving could be treacherous due to spray and flooding.
Stay alert as extensive flooding of homes and businesses might occur, and essential services like power and mobile phones could be disrupted. Communities could face the risk of being cut off by fast-flowing floodwaters.
Prepare for potential landslides and keep safe, everyone! 🌀 Take this warning seriously and make sure you stay updated on the latest weather developments. Stay safe, South Wales! 💪#WeatherAlert #StaySafeWales #FloodWarning
