Heavy rain to hit Wales as weather warnings issued

Heavy rain may lead to travel disruption and flooding in parts of Wales on Sunday and Monday, the Met Office has said.

It has issued separate warnings, for parts of north, mid and south Wales, following recent flooding after Storm Bram.

"Given the recent wet weather and saturated ground, the likelihood of impacts is higher," it said.

More than 100mm (4in) of rain could fall on high ground in parts of south, north and mid Wales and up to 70mm (2.8in) elsewhere, with an amber warning in place on Monday.

BBC weather forecasters also said 60mph (97km/h) wind gusts could be expected in some coastal areas on Sunday.

• An amber warning for rain has been put in place for Bridgend, Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Swansea from 03:00 GMT on Monday until 21:00 on Monday
• A yellow warning for rain covers Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Ceredigion, Merthyr Tydfil, Powys and Vale of Glamorgan throughout Monday along with another covering Flintshire and Wrexham
• A separate yellow warning for rain is in place for Ceredigion, Conwy Denbighshire, Gwynedd and Powys from 18:00 on Sunday until 15:00 on Monday
