Warning of severe weather and flooding across parts of Wales

A SEVERE weather warning was issued for parts of Wales yesterday with the potential for more flooding to hit parts of the south and west again today.

The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning until early Sunday morning for heavy, thundery showers.

They added that some areas are likely to see around 15mm of rain in less than an hour, with up to 30mm in two or three hours.

Three flood warnings have also been issued for south west Wales by Natural Resources Wales.

Flood Alerts for possible flooding have been issued for the Upper Teifi, Lower Teifi and as well as Taf and Cynin.

Natural Resources Wales say that the combination of ground conditions, existing river levels and forecast rainfall quantities gives a high risk of flooding of low-lying land during the next 24 hours.

The weather warnings come after flash flooding hit Ceredigion on Friday.

Talsarn and areas around Lampeter, Llandysul and Newquay were affected.

In North Wales, bitter arctic winds are set to send temperatures plummeting to 11-12°C.
