Torrential rain and flooding is forecast as an amber Met Office warning comes into force
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has issued 38 flood alerts throughout Wales with the weather across the country expected to worsen tonight and tomorrow. A rare amber rain warning has been put in place as heavy downpours are expected across many areas.
Torrential rain and probable flooding is forecast as the amber Met Office warning comes into force. Heavy rain is likely to bring some disruption and probable flooding to parts of Wales throughout Monday, December 1. The warnings from NRW means flooding is possible in the area it lists and people should be prepared.
There is another Met Office yellow weather warning for rain on Tuesday, December 2, which is in place between midnight and 3am and covers parts of Carmarthernshire and large parts of Mid and North Wales. Read the biggest stories in Wales first by signing up to our daily newsletter here.
