A second yellow weather warning has been issued for Pembrokeshire on Sunday (January 21) with heavy rain and flooding set to accompany the already forecast strong winds.

The Met Office has issued a new 24-hour yellow weather warning which will be in place from 6am on Sunday until 6am on Monday (January 22).

The warning will be in place as heavy rain looks set to cause flooding and disruptions across Wales.

Some part of Wales could see up to 100mm of rain.

The yellow weather warning will be in place across all of Pembrokeshire including Haverfordwest, Tenby, St Davids and Fishguard.

This latest warning comes just a day after the Met Office issued a yellow warning for all of Pembrokeshire due to strong winds which could cause danger to life.

These latest weather warnings come after a week in which the UK saw freezing temperatures, snow and ice.

How to prepare for the yellow weather warning and possible flooding

The Met Office has issued advice on how to prepare for the yellow weather warning on Sunday and Monday and the threat the heavy rain poses.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.

"Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.

"People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.

"Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area."

Both yellow weather warnings - for heavy rain and strong winds - will be in place across Pembrokeshire from 6am on Sunday, January 21 to 6am on Monday, January 22.
