Parts of Herefordshire are likely to see further flooding this week, with the Met Office issuing a weather warning for parts of Mid Wales.
The warning is in place for Tuesday, with up to 100mm of rain possible in some parts, which is likely to lead to further flooding on rivers such as the River Wye in Herefordshire.
Some parts of the county saw flooding over the weekend, with levels on the River Wye, River Lugg, River Arrow and River Teme very high. Riverside paths were flooded in Hereford city, with the River Wye peaking at 4.7 metres on Sunday evening.
Elsewhere, the A438 (Hereford to Brecon Road) reopened on Sunday evening, after being closed for several hours due to rising floodwater.
Flood Alerts and Warnings remain in place across Herefordshire. There will be a brief respite from the torrential rain on Monday, before further torrential rain spreads across the upland areas of Wales on Tuesday.
In the Met Office Weather Warning issued today, it says:
“Outbreaks of rain will spread across England and Wales during Tuesday. This will be heaviest and most persistent across parts of Wales, particularly over higher ground. Rainfall totals of 80-100 mm could accumulate over high ground.”
