Fields flooded, rivers raged and small chunks of a mountainside were brought down into the road by water as torrential rain hit Wales . A yellow weather warning was issued by the Met Office for large parts of south Wales overnight between Friday and Saturday. The impact of the rain has been seen throughout the day.
In Cardiff, the Taff was close to bursting its banks with the fast flowing waters lapping at the Taff Trail and crashing over the weir at Blackweir near the city centre as large amounts of water poured from the Valleys through the Welsh capital. Pictures and video from the bridge at Blackweir showed torrents of water creating a thundering noise, as the river also threated to burst its banks. Many trees were already surrounded by water despite normally being some distance above the water line.
