Met Office Extends Wales Rain Warnings to Wednesday

Forecasters say saturated ground heightens the risk of localized flooding.

Overview

  • Yellow warnings cover much of Wales through Tuesday and a further spell from about 6am to midnight on Wednesday after a brief lull.
  • South Wales Police warn that the A4061 at Blackmill Lanes near Bridgend is hazardous due to surface water and urge people to avoid unnecessary trips or allow extra time.
  • The Met Office says there is a small chance of flooding of homes and businesses, with spray and standing water likely to lengthen journey times and cause possible road closures.
  • Bus and train services will probably be affected, and there is a small chance some communities could be briefly cut off by flooded roads.
  • Forecasters note uncertainty over where the heaviest rain will fall, while related warnings are also in place across parts of Scotland, south‑west England and Northern Ireland.
