Region: Wales

Rain will become persistent and heavy through the remainder of Sunday, clearing to the east overnight but followed by showers into Monday morning. Accumulations of 50-70 mm are expected fairly widely over high ground well-inland, with the most exposed hills potentially receiving 80-100 mm. This may lead to some surface water and river flooding. In addition, strong south to southwesterly winds will also accompany the rain. What Should I Do? Keep yourself and others safe; prepare to avoid travelling by road during potentially dangerous road conditions. If you must travel, ensure you watch for possible danger and drive cautiously. It is not safe to drive, walk or swim through floodwater, avoid it where possible and if you are affected by fast flowing or deep-water call 999, and wait for help. Preparing a flood kit could save you from loss or damage due to flooding to your home or business. In your flood kit have: insurance and any other important documents; a torch & spare batteries; a first aid kit, prescription medicines and supplies for looking after your family members or pets; and warm, waterproof clothes, blankets, food and water. Consider checking on vulnerable people that you know including older people, those with underlying conditions and those who live alone; they may need support with food and medical supplies. If you are worried about your health or that of somebody you know, ring NHS 111. Stay up to date with the weather forecast for your area and follow advice from emergency services and local authorities.

Heavy rain is likely to cause some flooding and disruption later today and overnight into Monday

Region: Wales

Rain will become persistent and heavy through Sunday, clearing to the east overnight but followed by showers into Monday morning. Accumulations of 20-40 mm are expected widely, with the heaviest rain over high ground, especially over south or southwest-facing hills. As much as 80-100 mm may fall in the most exposed areas, covered by a separate Amber warning. Rain will also be accompanied by strong south to southwesterly winds, making for poor travel conditions. What Should I Do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
