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

The Met Office said a 'brief respite' was expected on Saturday night, followed by more rain on Sunday morning.

Following a brief respite on Saturday night, a further frontal system will bring more rain to these same areas through Sunday morning before clearing away northeastwards during Sunday afternoon.

While these amounts of rain wouldn't usually lead to many impacts, given the saturated nature of the ground there is a greater risk of localised surface water flooding that might normally be expected. Some rivers within the area also remain high.

– Chief Forecaster, Met Office

The warning is in place until 3pm on Sunday afternoon and covers the following areas:

  • Blaenau Gwent
  • Bridgend
  • Caerphilly
  • Cardiff
  • Carmarthenshire
  • Merthyr Tydfil
