There’s more rain and wind coming!
THE Met Office has issued a fresh yellow warning for wind and rain across Wales today, the third weather warning this week.
The country has already been battered by heavy downpours and strong winds this week, and it looks like there’s more to come.
The forecasting service issued the yellow warning for the entire country.
It comes after torrential rain and high winds left some areas flooded on Monday, as well as a warning for wind and rain that lashed parts of the nation yesterday.
The warning for today, which is in place from 10am to 7pm, said: “A narrow band of rain, heavy at times and perhaps briefly intense, will move eastwards late on Thursday morning and into the afternoon, clearing Kent during the evening; 10mm to 15mm is likely to fall in a oneto two-hour period, with around 20mm in a few places.
“With saturated ground, this is likely to lead to a fair amount of surface water on roads and flooding in one or two places. Strong winds will be an additional hazard with gusts of 40-50mph inland and perhaps briefly 60-70mph along some exposed coasts, especially in Cornwall, Pembrokeshire, Gwynedd and Anglesey.”
Unfortunately the wintry weather looks set to be here for a few more days at least, with sunshine and dry skies not expected until the tail end of the weekend.
The Met Office forecast for tomorrow to Sunday reads: “Showers first thing on Friday then feeling pleasant with plenty of sunshine and light winds. Cloudy with heavy rain and strong winds on Saturday. Drier and brighter on Sunday.”
