A yellow weather warning for rain has been issued for this evening across the vast majority of Wales.

Up to 60mm of rain is likely to fall on some hills and mountains overnight according to meteorologists, who have this morning issued a weather warning.

The warning comes into effect at 9pm tonight until 9am on Thursday, with the Met Office saying that flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely, with travel disruption a possibility.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Rain, often heavy, developing over Wales early Wednesday evening and moving east across central and some northern parts of England overnight.

“As much as 40mm to 60mm of rain is likely to fall over some hills and mountains in Wales, with 20mm to 30mm quite widely elsewhere in Wales and also over some other parts of the warning area. Following recent very wet weather some travel disruption and flooding is likely.”
