🚨 **Weather Alert for Wales!** 🌧️
Heads up, Wales! Two flood alerts have been issued for the rivers Wye and Monnow in Monmouthshire. With stormy weather on the horizon, it’s time to prepare. Natural Resources Wales is keeping a close eye on the situation as the rain continues to pour. The current alert was put in place on Friday night and remains active tonight. River levels are expected to rise, affecting low-lying lands and roads.
Monmouth has seen its fair share of water woes, especially after the devastating floods from Storm Claudia in December. Locals were evacuated, and the community has been rebuilding since. Let’s hope for less chaos this time around.
Over in Powys, the River Lugg is also under watch due to ongoing rainfall, with similar expectations for flooding of low-lying areas.
And it’s not just rivers causing disruption. A section of the M4 had a lane closed due to flooding. The Met Office warns of continued unsettled weather, with heavy downpours mainly in the south tonight and gales possible in Gwynedd and Anglesey. Expect chilly temps too, plummeting to a brisk 2°C.
Brace yourselves for a soggy Sunday, particularly in the south, with highs around 7°C. Looking ahead, Monday will kick off with a frosty start for some, followed by rain and wind later on. Come Tuesday, brace for more intense weather with likely gales and floods in areas—hopefully giving way to a brighter, colder Wednesday.
Stay dry and take care, everyone! 🌧️💨
