Flood alerts have been issued across Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion due to high tides and rainfall.

Natural Resources Wales has issued flood alerts across Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion coastlines, as well as several river catchments. The warnings, which began on Saturday 24 October, remain in effect until at least Tuesday 27 October, with some extending into Wednesday. The alerts are due to a combination of high tides and ongoing rainfall.

In Pembrokeshire, the alert covers the coast between St Dogmaels and Amroth. In Carmarthenshire, the risk area stretches from Pendine to Hendy, east of Llanelli. Ceredigion's alert runs between Clarach and Cardigan. Flooding of property is considered possible in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. River catchments under alert include the upper and lower Teifi and the lower Towy, where rainfall is expected to cause above-normal water levels.

Natural Resources Wales advises residents and visitors to be careful on beaches, coastal footpaths, roads, low-lying land and near estuaries. A spokesperson said: 'Flooding of low-lying land and roads is expected' and confirmed the organisation will continue to monitor the situation.
