A weather warning has been issued as heavy rain looks likely to cause disruptions across south Wales.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for parts of south Wales - including Newport, Swansea and the Vale of Glamorgan - with heavy rain expected to result in flooding and travel disruptions.

The heavy rain warning will be in place from 6pm on Tuesday (October 24) until 10am on Wednesday (October 25).

This weather warning comes off the back of others issued in the last week due to Storm Babet.

What to expect from the yellow weather warning in South Wales

The Met Office said the yellow weather warning for south Wales is due to heavy rain which could result in flooding and disruptions. 

As a result of the heavy rain, the Met Office said to expect:

  • Disruptions to bus and train services
  • Spray and flooding on roads affecting travel
  • Flooding of homes and businesses

A Met Office spokesperson added: "Scattered showers will become more frequent and increasingly organised into a longer spell of rain through Tuesday evening before gradually clearing eastward during Wednesday morning.

"15-25 mm of rain is expected fairly widely, but there is a chance that 50-60 mm could fall in a few places; these higher accumulations more likely along Bristol Channel and English Channel coasts."
