Parts of Brecon and Radnorshire are set for a wet couple of days as a yellow weather warning for rain is currently in effect.

The warning, which will last until 9pm tomorrow (Friday) covers towns including Crickhowell, Talgarth, Hay-on-Wye, Presteigne and Knighton, while Brecon, Llandrindod Wells, and Builth Wells sit just on the edge of the alert area.

The Met Office says 20-30mm of rain is expected, with higher ground potentially seeing over 50mm.

The forecaster said: “An area of rain, heavy at times, will move northwards during Thursday morning. A brief drier and brighter spell may follow, but this likely to be short lived with heavy, slow moving showers through the afternoon, merging into longer spells of rain through the evening, overnight and through much of Friday.

“Through this event, 20-30mm is likely for many places, with some higher ground areas receiving in excess of 50mm. Given the widely saturated ground conditions, some surface water flooding is probable, with difficult driving conditions from spray, flowing water or flooded roads in particular.”
