TAKE care on the roads today as the Met Office has issued three Yellow Warnings for heavy rain and windy conditions.

The first alert for wind covers until 3pm today (Wednesday) and comes with the warning: ‘A spell of strong winds brings the potential for disruption to travel and utilities.’

‘Wind gusts of 55-60 mph are likely for the far southwest of England.’

The second alert warns of heavy rain through the morning until 4pm today.

‘This will bring widely 20-30 mm of rain with spots of 40-50 mm, mainly over the high ground of south Wales and Dartmoor.’

The rain will be back this evening with a third alert warning: ‘Outbreaks of rain are likely to spread across these areas later Thursday, with further spells of at times heavy rain then following through Friday, before clearing to the east early Saturday.

‘Many areas are expected to see 20-30 mm, with Dartmoor and higher ground of south Wales likely to see some 50-60 mm.

‘After wet weather on preceding days, some flooding is likely, this in turn affecting transport and travel.’

This warning covers from 9pm today to 3am on Thursday.
