A NUMBER of places across Pembrokeshire have been flooded during today’s Storm Henk.

Storm Henk has hit across Pembrokeshire and Wales, as well as much of the UK, with the Met Office putting yellow weather warnings in place for heavy rain and winds, the latter being upgraded to an amber warning across part of south Wales.

It comes after a weekend of heavy rain, leading to extremely saturated ground and the current heavy rainfall adding extra pressure to this and causing some flooding.

Pembrokeshire County Council has this afternoon – Tuesday, January 2 – issued an update on the flooding situation saying that the heavy rain is due to subside later today.

There is a flood warning still in place for the river Ritec at Tenby and due to this, the Tenby to Gumfreston Road will remain closed.

There have also been reports of flooding along Marsh Road near the petrol station.
