Wales can expect heavy rain and strong winds this week as the remnants of Hurricane Ian is set to batter the UK. The hurricane has caused mass power outages and flooding in Florida USA, with winds of over 150 mph reported. And while the picture across the Atlantic is much tamer, the British isles will still feel the fallout from the destruction.
A yellow weather warning for wind and rain is in place in parts of the UK for Friday, September 30, with treacherous conditions expected. The warning has currently not been extended to Wales but the Met Office is forecasting heavy rain and winds of nearly 60mph for the country.
By 1pm on Friday the entire Welsh west coast will be battling strong gales, reaching 57mph in parts. Alongside this, across the country will experience heavy rainfall throughout the day, with up to 32mm per hour expected to fall up north. The weather looks set to mellow out over the weekend, however, showers are still forecast.
