Residents braced for more flooding in South Wales

More rain is expected to batter South Wales today and tomorrow, causing further flooding on already saturated ground and misery to beleaguered residents.

A Met Office yellow weather warning has been issued for the next 36 hours following torrential downpours that closed roads, disrupted rail services and caused a landslide that forced 11 homes to be evacuated in the Swansea valley village of Ystalyfera overnight.

In total, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service attended 80 flooding incidents on Saturday, including six rescues from vehicles and three landslides.

About 30 homes were flooded in Kingrosia Park, Clydach, Swansea, while firefighters were also called to help people in properties in Gower and Llanelli.
