Overview
- Yellow Met Office warnings for heavy rain remain in force across south and west Wales today, with a separate wind and rain warning covering Devon and Cornwall until 6pm.
- Natural Resources Wales reports a flood warning and more than 20 alerts this morning, with property flooding expected on the River Ely at Peterston-super-Ely.
- Transport disruption has included a westbound closure of the M48 Severn Bridge due to strong winds and police safety warnings over hazardous surface water on routes such as the A4061 near Bridgend.
- Met Office forecasters say additional wind and rain warnings are likely later this week as a slow‑moving system from Thursday night into Saturday could deliver very heavy rain and gusty easterly winds.
- A cooler turn is forecast to reach the north first with overnight frosts and hill snow in Scotland, and the Met Office long‑range outlook points to a generally colder, drier spell for central and northern areas in mid to late November.
