A yellow "be aware" rain warning remains in place across Wales until 06:00 BST on Saturday.

The Met Office said fast-flowing or deep flood water could endanger life and the yellow warning indicates flooding is expected and action is required.

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said it had attended flooding incidents in Tonyrefail and Llantrisant in Rhondda Cynon Taff, Bridgend and Maesteg, Abertillery in Blaenau Gwent, St Nicholas in Vale of Glamorgan and Cardiff.

Another warning for wind comes into force for 24 hours from Saturday at 12:00 and covers the whole of Wales.
