Brace yourselves, Wales! 🌧️ The Met Office has extended a yellow weather warning for rain, with torrential downpours expected to hit large parts of the country. The warning is in place from 5am Thursday until 9pm Friday, so keep those brollies handy!
Forecasters predict severe rainfall could cause local flooding and travel chaos. 🚗🌊 Parts of Wales like Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, and Wrexham are on high alert. Surface water flooding is a big concern given the saturated ground, and areas could see 20–30mm of rain, with higher ground getting over 50mm!
Drivers, take caution on those slippery roads and prepare for potential delays in bus and train services. And don’t rule out the possibility of brief power cuts. If you’re in a flood-prone area, now’s the time to check if your property is at risk and consider a flood plan and emergency kit.
Keep an eye on the latest forecasts, as weather conditions can change quickly. Natural Resources Wales has also issued flood alerts along the north west coastline, Swansea Bay, and parts of Pembrokeshire. Stay safe and dry, everyone! 🌧️💧
