Yellow warning as stormy weather hits Wales

High winds and heavy rain have battered Wales overnight, causing flooding, power cuts and travel disruption.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for strong winds across all of Wales until 18:00 BST.

The strongest gust so far, 66mph (106km/h), was recorded in Aberdaron in Gwynedd, while Capel Curig in Conwy saw gusts of 59mph (95km/h).

The warning comes as flooding submerged cars on Cwmbwrla roundabout on Carmarthen Road in Swansea as torrential rain caused disruption.

The National Grid reported 460 homes were without power in south, west and mid Wales early on Monday afternoon.

The largest incident was in Fairwater, Cardiff where 123 properties were without supply.

There were about 100 properties in Barry that were cut off and a further 90 without power in Swansea.

There have also been power cuts in St Clears, Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil.

In north Wales, SP Energy Networks said a power cut was affecting the Llanaelhaearn area of Gwynedd.

There have also been power cuts in Rhyl, Denbigh, Llanberis and Morfa Nefyn.

The fire services have said several trees had been brought down, with incidents passed on to the councils.

The M48 Severn Bridge was closed and the Cleddau crossing was shut for high-sided vehicles.

Residents like William Leggatt said the flooding was "devastating"

William Leggatt said he had "never seen anything like this" after Sunday's flooding on Cwmbwrla roundabout on Carmarthen Road.

"I ran down to see if I could help anyone but fire and rescue had the boats in place and ready. They were evacuating families from the houses around the corner," he said.

"No-one has really seen anything like this previously. Obviously it's a bit devastating.

"The generators were on fire yesterday. There was a gas leak over there, you could hear it and smell it in the area, but the kids thought it was fun and games.

"There was a swimmer in there yesterday, diving off the cars, there was a paddleboarder going around. It was a bit of entertainment for everyone but [they didn't realise] the risk."

Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said the strongest winds were expected to be for west Wales and north-west England on Monday morning, with winds expected to slowly ease from the west later on Monday afternoon and into the evening.

People were encouraged to secure loose items outside their homes and gardens, check for delays and road closures and take care near the coast.
