Pembrokeshire faces four flood warnings after a weekend of snow and ice, with alerts across Wales due to rain and melting snow.
Pembrokeshire: So, it looks like Pembrokeshire is dealing with some serious weather issues right now. After a weekend filled with snow and ice, there are four flood warnings in place. It’s not just Pembrokeshire, either; over 34 flood alerts are scattered across Wales due to the rain and melting snow.
This past weekend, the area was under yellow and amber weather warnings. The snow and freezing rain really took a toll. Even on Monday, the cold weather was still hanging around, causing some schools in Wrexham and Flintshire to close down. Flood warnings are still active, so folks need to stay alert.
Natural Resources Wales has warned that the combination of rain and melting snow could lead to localized flooding. If you’re out and about, be careful and keep an eye on the latest updates. It’s a good idea to check your flood risk and stay informed.
In Pembrokeshire, the Western Cleddau River is seeing levels rise, which means flooding of low-lying areas is expected. South Pembrokeshire is also experiencing ongoing flooding, especially around the River Ritec in Tenby. The river levels are above normal, and they might rise a bit more with each high tide.
There’s also a flood alert for the lower end of the River Teifi, where flooding of roads and land is anticipated. The River Taf and River Cynin are in a similar boat, with levels rising and flooding expected. It’s definitely a time to be cautious and prepared.
