Weather warnings in place for west Wales this weekend

Following on from thunderstorms in parts last night, the Met Office is now advising: "Areas of heavy, possibly thundery rain may cause flooding and disruption in parts of England and Wales on Saturday night and Sunday."

The yellow warning is in place between 9pm tonight, Saturday September 7, and 6pm on Sunday September 8.

While warnings are in place for Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire some parts of the first two counties may escape the downpours, according to the Met Office map.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Whilst there remains some uncertainty with exact details, areas of heavy and at times thundery rain are expected to spread north, then west, across England and Wales from this evening and overnight.

"These areas of heavy rain may become more persistent across western areas during Sunday daytime whilst slow-moving heavy showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop further east."

The spokesperson continued: "Rainfall amounts will vary considerably across the warning area with some locations seeing less than 10 mm of rainfall whilst others see 40-60 mm of rain.

"There is a lower chance that a few spots within the warning area could see 80-100 mm of rain by the end of Sunday which may fall in a fairly small period of time. These higher totals are slightly more probable in the southern half of the warning area.

"Given this region has also seen a lot of rain since Thursday, impacts may be more likely than would normally be expected for the time of year here."
