Amber Weather Warning Issued for UK Flood Risk, Travel Disruptions

The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for heavy rain and flooding across parts of south and mid-Wales, effective from 3pm Sunday to 6am Monday, with conditions posing a 'danger to life'. Forecasts predict up to 100mm of rain, leading to fast-flowing floodwaters and potential disruption to transport services. Communities may be cut off by flooded roads, and homes and businesses are at risk of flooding, prompting the Environment Agency to advise against driving through floodwaters. Additionally, yellow warnings for strong winds are in effect across much of the UK, with gusts reaching up to 70mph in exposed areas. Meteorologists warn that the combination of heavy rain and strong winds will create hazardous conditions, particularly near coastal regions. Severe weather is expected to ease overnight, with improving conditions in the following days.
