Flooding expected as heavy rain set to hit

Three flood warnings are in place in Wales as heavy rain is set to hit parts of the country this week.

Two of the warnings are near Carmarthen, while one is close to Beddgelert in Gwynedd.

Twenty-four flood alerts are also in place across Wales.

It comes as a yellow warning for rain is issued for much of south Wales from midday until 06:00 GMT on Wednesday.

One of the flood warnings - issued when flooding is expected - is for low-lying areas near the River Cothi, with flooding of properties expected, including the Cothi Bridge Hotel in Pontargothi, Carmarthenshire.

Farms, properties and roads are also expected to be hit by flooding near the River Towy in Carmarthenshire.

Flooding is also expected at Beddgelert, Gwynedd, close to the Colwyn and Glaslyn rivers.

Meanwhile, the Met Office has put a yellow weather warning in place for much of the country, from Carmarthen to Chepstow, between 12:00 on Tuesday and 06:00 on Wednesday.

The heavy rain could result in spray and flooding on roads, while bus and train services could be affected, the forecaster warns.
