The Met Office has issued updated weather warnings for Wales, anticipating a period of severe conditions including ice, strong winds, and heavy rain over the coming days. These warnings follow the impact of Storm Éowyn, which has brought significant disruptions across the UK.
Saturday: Ice Warning

A yellow warning for ice is in effect from 4am to 11am on Saturday, 25th January. The Met Office advises that showers moving across the region on Friday evening and early Saturday morning will be followed by clearing skies, leading to the formation of ice on untreated surfaces. This could result in hazardous travelling conditions.
The affected areas in Wales include Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Swansea, Torfaen, and the Vale of Glamorgan.
Sunday: Wind and Rain Warnings


On Sunday, 26th January, a further area of low pressure is expected to influence the UK’s weather, initially impacting the west before spreading eastwards. As a result, the Met Office has issued yellow warnings for both wind and rain in Wales.
A yellow warning for wind is in place from 8am to 3pm on Sunday. The forecast indicates strong south to southeasterly winds accompanied by heavy rain moving into the southwest on Sunday morning, then spreading to other southern and western areas throughout the day. Winds are likely to gust between 50 to 60 mph widely, with gusts up to 70 mph possible around some exposed coasts and hills.
Additionally, a yellow warning for rain is in effect from 8am on Sunday until 6am on Monday, 27th January. Spells of heavy rain may lead to localised flooding during this period. The Met Office warns of potential impacts including flooding of homes and businesses, delays or cancellations to public transport, difficult driving conditions, and possible power cuts.
Outlook for Monday and Tuesday
The unsettled weather is expected to continue into the start of next week. The Met Office forecasts that Monday and Tuesday will remain changeable and windy with showers, and temperatures close to average for this time of year.
Residents are advised to stay updated with the latest forecasts and heed any further warnings as conditions develop. Taking necessary precautions, such as securing loose outdoor items and planning for potential travel disruptions, is recommended.
