A top weather forecaster has warned that the flooding and heavy rain Wales saw this week will be the norm in the future. ITV's Ruth Dodsworth told WalesOnline that "many of us are not prepared" for flooding and people will need to adapt to wet, mild winters in the future.
The presenter and journalist, who regularly appears on ITV Cymru Wales and has been a guest presenter on Good Morning Britain, said this week's weather was something "we've seen coming for a long time," but not something people are prepared for. She said: "It is undoubtedly extreme but these are the weather events we’ve been told we have to get used to and prepare for.
"Quite simply, many of us are not prepared for this weather. It’s absolutely a deluge and there doesn’t seem to be any end to this. It’s one wet day after another after another."
