🌧️ Heads up, Wales! A yellow weather warning is in play as heavy rain is set to drench parts of south and mid Wales from 5am Thursday until midnight. Expect up to 30mm in some areas!
The Met Office warns the rain might lead to surface water flooding, travel chaos, and occasional power cut hiccups. Areas likely to catch the worst of it include Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taf, and Torfaen.
Rain will sneak in from the south overnight, turning heavy Thursday morning. A short break may occur later, but don’t be fooled! More rain is coming. Roads could be tricky with spray and standing water, so give yourself extra travel time and keep an eye on public transport updates.
Homeowners in flood-prone zones are urged to prep a flood plan and emergency kit. Power cuts might arise, so keep those torches, batteries, and phone chargers close.
Stay updated with the latest forecasts as the situation can shift quickly. While severe flooding isn’t expected, be ready for local disruptions, especially on your commute.
Stay safe, and stay dry! 💧
