"As the ground is already very wet, any more rain could easily result in localised flooding."
Motorists in Swansea were among those affected by torrential rain on Friday night.
Drivers were seen to be reversing down Mumbles Road after attempting to access Brynmill Lane but being unable to pass through the levels of surface water.
