There's a yellow weather warning in Wales - meaning heavy rain and wind are expected to cause disruption and there's also a risk of flooding.

- Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges
- Some short term loss of power and other services
- Some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities may be affected by spray and/or large waves
- Driving conditions may be more difficult
- Homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings
- Fast flowing or deep floodwater could cause danger to life or communities becoming cut off by flooded roads
These areas in Wales have been named by the Met Office as likely to be the most affected by the weather:
- Carmarthenshire
- Ceredigion
- Conwy
- Flintshire
- Gwynedd
