The Met office said there could be 10-22mm of rain, with 40-50mph gusts inland, rising to 60-70mph on exposed coasts.

It said some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely. Services are already at a stand on Transport for Wales between Pwllheli and Porthmadog due to flooding.

The flooding of a few homes or business is also possible, it added. Some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities in Wales could be affected by spray and large waves.

Some areas in Wales with yellow weather warnings: Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham, Aberstwyth, Carmarthen, Holyhead, Monmouth, Caernarfon, St.David's, Newtown (Powys).

According to the Met office it issues warnings when severe weather has the potential to bring impacts to the UK.

Their guidance states: "Yellow warnings can be issued for a range of weather situations.

"Many are issued when it is likely that the weather will cause some low level impacts, including some disruption to travel in a few places."
