Several roads across Wales remain blocked or closed on Friday, January 13 after flooding hit the country 24 hours ago. Parts of Wales were submerged under heavy rainwater on Thursday as a yellow weather warning wreacked chaos in many areas of south Wales.
In Cardiff the river Taff and Ely burst their banks and both Crickhowell and parts of Rhondda Cynon Taff - two areas worst hit by storm Dennis in 2020 - were once again battered by flooding. Homes, parks, playing fields and pubs were once again affected, with cars almost completely submerged in parts.
While the forecast looks much more settled for Friday, many people now have to endure the gruelling clean up of the heavy rain and assess the damage. In some areas, roads remain closed due to remaining floodwater. Across Wales ten flood warnings remain in place as well as 23 flood alerts.
