People across south and mid Wales are being warned to be prepared for potential flooding with heavy rain forecast.

The Met office has upgraded its warning to an amber alert which runs until 6 o clock on Saturday night.

A yellow warning is then in place until 2am Sunday morning.

Natural Resources Wales says emergency response workers will be at key sites - checking flood defences and making sure drainage grids are clear to reduce the risk to people and their homes.
