Wales gets nearly a month’s rain in a day
HEAVY rain was predicted to drench South Wales, with up to three-quarters of a month’s average rainfall expected today.
South Wales was expected to bear the brunt of the UK’s wet weather with more downpours expected until Friday and lighter showers on Saturday.
Forecaster Matt Dobson, from MeteoGroup UK, said a band of rain had been falling since midnight and a second band was expected later today.
The wet weather was expected to continue into the evening, although most areas should be drier by midnight. He said: “I think much of south Wales will see at least 30mm of rain through the day, probably up to about 50mm across hills and land.
“That’s getting on for three-quarters of the average month’s rainfall.
Hopes that there might be some new crop barley cut in parts of Pembrokeshire this week may have been somewhat premature!
