Storm Dennis arrives in Wales bringing wind and heavy rain
Storm Dennis has arrived in Wales bringing with it wind and heavy rain which is disrupting parts of the country.
The Met Office has heightened weather warnings across Wales because of the risk of flooding posed the storm.
Brecon Beacons is one of the worst affected areas with forecasters predicting "very heavy rain" to continue until Sunday afternoon. Conditions are likely to bring flooding to homes and businesses, causing damage to some buildings.
Fast flowing or deep floodwater is also likely, "causing danger to life," while trains, buses and roads could be hit by closures, cancellations and delays.
Correspondent Hannah Thomas explains what conditions are like in the Brecon Beacons amber zone.
Natural Resources Wales have advised people against to travel in the conditions.
Jeremy Parr, the Head of Flood Risk Management, said conditions are going to get worse.
"If you're tempted to drive through the floodwater or walk through it, it's not a good idea because you know what's under the surface."
