Rain will become persistent and at times heavy across south and southwest Wales during Wednesday morning and is likely to continue for much of the day. 30-40 mm of rain is expected to fall widely with some places, chiefly on south-west facing hills, receiving 50-70 mm,” the weather warning on the Met Office’s website reads. “Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible. Spray and flooding on roads will probably making journey times longer. Bus and train services [will] probably be affected with journey times taking longer. There is a chance of some interruption to power supplies and other services.” Flood alerts are already in place, including a warning for the River Greta and River Derwent in Cumbria, alongside which are several campsites near Keswick. There is also concern – albeit to a lesser degree – for the Exmoor Rivers in Devon and the Upper River Tamar, which roughly forms the Devon and Cornwall border. Natural Resources Wales says several flood alerts are in place, including some in the two areas subject to the weather warnings. There is great concern for rivers in the upper Towy catchment upstream of Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire, and rivers in Llanelli and the neighbouring areas of Llangennech, Pwll and Burry Port. Advice given on the Met Office website suggests people living in the 15 areas should consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. The website says: “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.” For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters .
