Heavy rain could cause travel disruption and flooding on Monday as an amber weather warning is put in place for south Wales.

The Met Office said a band of heavy rain was expected to move over south Wales between late Sunday and late Monday, with 20 to 40 mm (0.78in to 1.58in) of rain expected across the wider region and more possible over higher ground.

A yellow warning of rain is also in place for Monday for mid and parts of north Wales.

The warnings come two weeks after danger to life alerts were in force following Storm Claudia, which flooded businesses and homes in Monmouth.

The Met Office warned strong winds would accompany the heavy rain on Monday, particularly in coastal areas.

The heavy rain would likely bring disruption and probable flooding, it said.

Delays or cancellations to train and bus services are possible, driving conditions could be difficult and there may be some road closures.

Some areas may also suffer power cuts and loss of other services to homes and businesses, the Met Office warned.

“Fast flowing or deep floodwater is possible, causing a danger to life, ” it added.

Richard Preece from Natural Resources Wales said: “With some rivers already swollen and the ground saturated, we expect to see a number of flood alerts and warnings issued.

“We also expect the rain to cause surface water issues.”

He also urged people to be vigilant and to make preparations for potential flooding now.

“We also want to remind people to keep away from swollen riverbanks and not to drive or walk through flood waters as you don’t know what lies beneath.”
