- Forecasters expect 30–50 mm of rain widely, 60–80 mm in some spots, and over 100 mm on east-facing hills in southeast Wales, with strong easterly winds.
- The Met Office warns of surface-water and river flooding, hazardous travel with potential road and rail disruption, power cuts, and a small chance some communities are cut off.
