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

A yellow weather warning for heavy rain is in place across Wales on 24 October due to Storm Boelo.

A yellow weather warning for heavy rain is in place across Wales on 24 October from 11am to 11pm due to Storm Boelo. The Met Office expects 25-30mm of rain to fall widely across the warning area, with upland areas potentially receiving 50-60mm, with some of this rainfall possibly concentrated within six hours.

Moderate impacts from surface water flooding are anticipated. Spray and flooding on roads will probably lengthen journey times, whilst bus and train services are likely to be affected. Some interruption to power supplies and other services is likely, and flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible.

Rain is expected to ease temporarily through the evening before an intense band of heavy rain arrives from the west. The system will then clear eastward to bring a clear night with scattered showers. The Met Office has advised people to check road conditions before driving or to amend travel plans based on bus and train timetables. Residents are also advised to prepare for power cuts and to assess whether their property could be at risk of flooding.
