Wales is gearing up for a miserable Monday with hours of torrential rain and probable flooding on the way as a rare amber Met Office warning comes into force.

The forecaster cancelled a yellow warning for rain which had been in place for Saturday, November 29, but the good news didn’t last long as it then upgraded a warning for Monday, December 1, from yellow to amber, meaning “heavy rain is likely to bring some disruption and probable flooding” to parts of Wales.

The amber warning will come into force at midnight (12am) on Monday, and be in place for almost the entire day, until 11pm.
