⚠️ Weather Alert for Wales! ⚠️
Grab your brollies and brace yourselves, Wales! The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms expected to sweep across our region today. Thunder, lightning, and torrential rain are on the cards, especially in 21 areas including Cardiff, Swansea, and Wrexham.
⏰ Timing: From 2am to 5pm, keep an eye on changing weather conditions.
Rain isn’t the only concern; there’s a potential for flooding, power cuts, and travel disruptions. Remember, safety first! If heavy rain rolls in, avoid driving through floodwater and keep updated on road conditions and transport timetables.
Whether you’re at home or work, make sure you’re prepared:
– Secure outdoor items: bins, garden furniture, trampolines? Check they’re all fastened down.
– Handy essentials: torches, batteries, and a charged power pack for your mobile phone.
– Stay indoors if possible, especially during lightning. If you’re outside, find a safe enclosed space. Avoid trees and tall structures.
It’s also wise to prepare for potential power outages. Gather essential items in advance to make these more manageable.
