November 23, 2022 - 597 views

Rough seas and high winds can be expected in North Wales and elsewhere across the UK on Thursday (24th November) according to the latest update from the Met Office.

A narrow band of rain, heavy at times and perhaps briefly intense, will move eastwards late on Thursday morning and into the afternoon, clearing Kent during the evening.

10 to 15 mm is likely to fall in a 1 to 2 hour period, with around 20 mm in a few places. With saturated ground, this is likely to lead to a fair amount of surface water on roads and flooding in one or two places.

Strong winds will be an additional hazard with gusts of 40-50 mph inland and perhaps briefly 60-70 mph along some exposed coasts, especially in Cornwall, Pembrokeshire, Gwynedd and Anglesey.

The 'be aware' amber weather warning will be in place from 10am through to 7pm on Thursday evening.
