Heavy rain and high tides in Wales prompts flooding concern

People have been urged to be "vigilant" as more heavy rain and high tides will bring the risk of flooding.

Downpours over the weekend have left land saturated and river levels high, and forecasters have issued a warning for more wet weather on Monday.

The Met Office said it was likely a few homes and businesses would be flooded.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) also has a number of flood warnings and alerts in place across the country.

The first bout of rain brought wet and windy conditions on Saturday and Sunday but disruption was at a minimum.

Some roads were closed and buses replaced trains between Machynlleth and Newtown due to flooding.

South Wales Police advised motorists to leave extra time for journeys as "driving conditions remain very poor".

The next weather warning starts from 15:00 BST on Monday until the same time on Tuesday.

NRW said response workers were checking defences and making sure any drainage grids are clear, to reduce the risk to people and their homes.

A spokesman said: "The high tides continue to cause concern along the coast over the next two days, but with the forecast rain it is important to remember there remains a risk of inland flooding from rivers and surface water.

"We want people to be aware that flood water can be extremely dangerous, and people should not attempt to walk or drive through it unless instructed by the emergency services."
