Parts of Wales are braced for heavy rain on Friday, which could lead to flooding.
An amber weather warning for rain has been issued by the Met Office for much of the south of the country, which it says will “likely” lead to homes and businesses being flooded and communities cut off by flooded roads.
The warnings cover Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Carmarthenshire, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Swansea and Torfaen until midnight.
A yellow weather warning for rain is also in place for most of Mid, West, and South Wales and the south-west of England, which could also lead to flooding and is expected to last until 3am on Saturday.
