Severe Weather Warning for Christmas Eve and Boxing Day in South Wales

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain in Wales on Christmas Eve, forecasting heavy rainfall may lead to travel disruption and flooding in places.

The warning continues right through the festive period into Boxing Day, covering South Wales.

If there are any last minute shoppers heading to the Supermarket today and tomorrow, taking an umbrella would be wise.

The Met Office has said there is a small chance of flooding to buildings, businesses with fast flowing deep flood water creating hazardous conditions.

Service has been suspended on Transport for Wales between Newport and Hereford due to flooding.

The northbound service between Pontypridd and Treherbert has also been suspended due to flooding at Trehafod.

Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures, and there is a small chance that some communities become cut off by flooded roads.

Road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible.

The Met Office has warned some roads and bridges may close and power cuts for the region.
