Severe flooding has struck parts of Wales following heavy rainfall and strong winds, leaving roads submerged and transport disrupted.
In Swansea, the Cwmbwrla roundabout remains closed after being overwhelmed by floodwaters, with images showing cars nearly submerged.
In a surreal scene, some residents were even spotted paddle boarding across the flooded road.
Natural Resources Wales has issued three flood warnings and seven flood alerts, urging residents to take precautions as conditions remain unstable.
Meanwhile, South Wales Police confirmed that Goetre Fawr Road in Killay was closed due to flooding.
The impact has not been confined to Wales.
National Highways warned that part of the M5 near Bristol was waterlogged, affecting junction J18 to the A4.
Elsewhere in England, two flood alerts were issued for the River Rea in Birmingham and for the River Sow and River Penk in Staffordshire.
According to the Environment Agency, these alerts mean flooding remains a real possibility in these areas.
The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for wind, covering all of Wales and most of England until 6pm on Monday, September 15.
Forecasters cautioned that gusts could reach speeds of up to 70mph, raising the risk of power cuts and travel disruption.
Coastal communities have also been warned of large waves and sea spray, with conditions expected to remain challenging.
“It’s tonight that the winds start ramping up,” meteorologist Kathryn Chalk explained, adding that gusts would likely intensify into Monday before conditions begin to ease on Tuesday.
Despite the widespread flooding and damage, the Met Office confirmed that the system would not be named.
“Obviously, we are in meteorological autumn now, it’s the sort of weather that we do expect at this time of year,” spokesperson Graham Madge said.
Forecasters have also cautioned that another system could arrive by Wednesday, September 17, potentially bringing further strong gusts of wind.
However, it is too early to predict the full impact.
In the meantime, drivers are being urged to exercise caution, particularly in coastal areas.
Officials have advised motorists to replan or delay journeys where possible to avoid dangerous conditions.
