Met Office warns flood-hit Wales could get 'three weeks of rain' in two days

Parts of flood-hit Wales are braced for a further drenching, with three weeks worth of rain forecast to fall in just two days.

Amber and yellow weather warnings are in place across a swathe of the country, with up to 90mm of rainfall due over today and tomorrow..

Wales has been badly hit by flooding in recent weeks.

Last month, the Prince of Wales visited communities facing massive repair and clean-up operations in the Rhondda Cynon Taf area.

But more bad news is on the way.

A yellow weather warning indicates flooding to some homes and businesses is likely, transport is likely to be disrupted and there is a risk of spray and standing water on the roads.

While there are no weather warnings in place for the later half of the week, there will be widespread showers, meaning flood-hit areas will get little respite.
