Weather warnings after heavy rainfall across Wales

Over three feet of rain fell in Snowdonia in December. New figures from the Met Office show Capel Curig had 1012.2 mm between the 1st and 28th; the highest total in the UK.

Natural Resources Wales says many rivers in north Wales were at their highest since records began.

On Boxing Day the Seiont, the Llyfni and the Gwyrfai rivers reached new highs, while the rivers Conwy and Elwy also reached their second highest levels on record.

The public are being urged to take care near the coastline over concerns of flooding and large waves.

Natural Resources Wales has issued a warning of localised flooding around the North Wales coast.

The largest waves are expected to hit the coasts of Denbighshire and Conwy.

There is also large waves expected and the North and East of Anglesey early on this afternoon.

It follows a system of low pressure on Friday, bringing with it an estimated 20mm of rain in places.
