Natural Resources Wales is advising people to be alert for possible localised flooding as heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecast for the whole of Wales.

The Met Office is forecasting heavy showers, which could be intense in places, to hit north Wales this evening (Monday), and affect the whole of Wales on Tuesday and into Wednesday.

Due to the recent warm weather the ground is particularly hard meaning water will run off more quickly into drainage systems. There is a risk that this cause roads to flood and drains, ditches and small streams to overflow.

People travelling home from work, on their holidays or events like the Royal Welsh Show, are advised to take extra care, as driving conditions could be difficult.

Those who are camping or caravanning should also keep an eye on the weather conditions and listen to advice from the site owners.

People are advised to listen to local weather reports and news bulletins for the latest information in their area or if they intend to travel.

People are also advised not to drive or walk through any flood water.
