Flood warnings

It’s been persistently raining for 24 hours or more, so it comes as no surprise this morning that flooding is a problem across Wales, especially in the South and West

More than 20 flood warnings have been put in place, with many further areas on flood watch.

West Wales has been particularly badly affected, with fire crews called to flooding in Swansea, Carmarthen and Tenby.
Mid and West Wales Fire Service has responded to a number of incidents, which ranged from people getting rescued from vehicles to flooded houses.

Environment Agency Wales and the Met Office warned people living along the south Wales coast to be aware of a risk of sea flooding this weekend.
High tides, strong winds and significant wave heights may result in flood watches and possible tidal flood warnings being issued.
Environment Agency Wales reported 23 flood warnings, with further flood watches possible over the weekend for rivers.
Flood risk manager Jeremy Parr said: “We are continuing to closely monitor sea conditions and river levels and our teams have been out on the ground checking flood defences across the country.
