🌧️🚨 Storm Chandra hits Wales hard! 🚨🌧️
Winds are roaring and streets are flooding, as Storm Chandra sweeps through Wales, bringing major disruption on the roads. If you’re out and about today, take extra care—there are flood alerts across many regions including Blaenau Gwent, Cardiff, Swansea, and more.
Expect intense showers until around 10 am, with a yellow warning for strong winds sticking around until 4 pm in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, and Swansea. Stay updated with the latest advice and check local warnings.
🚗 Roads are taking a hit too! The M48 Severn Bridge is shut both ways due to the gusts, with a detour via the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge. If you’re on the A55 Britannia Bridge or the A40 towards Raglan, be ready for delays and drive carefully.
Natural Resources Wales has issued 17 flood alerts in mid and south Wales. Gwent Police report highway flooding, so keep your eyes open and report any issues to your local council.
🌬️ Met Office Forecaster Paul Gundersen says, “Stay informed with the latest forecasts and warnings.”
After a wet start, expect a slightly brighter afternoon with a few blustery showers. Wrap up warm as it’ll peak at 10 °C!
Stay safe out there, everyone! 🌬️🌀
