Wales weather: Severe Storm Bert warnings for weekend
Severe weather warnings have been issued for “large swathes” of Wales and many other parts of the UK this weekend ahead of the arrival of Storm Bert.
Described as a “multi-hazard event”, the storm will bring heavy rain, snow and strong winds from early Saturday and into Sunday.
The Met Office is predicting gusts of up to 50-60mph (80-96km/h) and has urged people to prepare for potential flooding in some areas.
A yellow warning for rain is in place for most of Wales from 06:00 GMT on Saturday until 06:00 on Sunday, with a yellow warning for strong wind spanning the north and west Wales coastline between 05:00 and 19:00 on Sunday.
