Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 10:02 · Archive

A yellow weather warning for heavy rain is in place across Wales on October 24 as Storm Boelo approaches. The warning runs from 11am to 11pm and covers all of Wales, including Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Monmouthshire, Newport, Pembrokeshire and the Vale of Glamorgan.

The Met Office warns of 25-30mm of rain expected widely across the area, with upland areas seeing 50-60mm, some of which may fall within six hours. The rain is expected to ease through the evening before another intense band of heavy rain arrives from the west, with the system clearing eastward to bring a clear night and scattered showers.

The Met Office has warned of moderate impacts from surface water flooding, with spray and flooding on roads likely to make journeys longer. Bus and train services will probably be affected, and some interruption to power supplies and other services is likely. Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible. The warning comes one day after Storm Austen affected parts of the country.
