The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning over parts of South Wales for Wednesday, 17 December, and Thursday, 18 December.

A period of rain, heavy at times, especially over high ground, will move slowly east across this region during Wednesday. Coming off the back of recent very wet weather, some travel disruption and flooding is likely across much of the warning area.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “10-20 mm of rain is likely to accumulate quite widely across the warning area, but 40-60 mm is possible over the high ground of Dartmoor and the hills of south Wales.”

An area of occasionally heavy rain will move northeast across the warning area during Thursday morning and afternoon before clearing to the east through the evening. Given recent very wet weather, there is potential for some disruption to travel and possible flooding.

Much of the warning area will see 15-25 mm but some places could see 40-60 mm, with the highest totals falling over high ground of south Wales and Dartmoor.
