More rain is set to fall in Wales as Hurricane Lorenzo makes its way to the UK this week.

Hurricane Lorenzo is currently in the south Atlantic and is expected to move into parts of the UK later this week.

The Met Office predicts the tail end of the storm will reach the UK on Thursday with the stormy weather coming after several days of "persistent" rain.

Met Office forecaster Steven Keates said: "Lorenzo is a real beast of a storm. It will be one of Europe's strongest ever tropical storms, as the Azores are part of Europe.

"After reaching the Azores on Tuesday, Lorenzo is expected to move to close to the UK by Thursday - bringing a couple of days with potentially worse conditions than this weekend."

Torrential rain caused chaos on Saturday with some parts of Wales completely flooded .

Roads were closed across south, mid and west Wales and vehicles were seen submerged in water.

In Peterston-super-Ely in the Vale of Glamorgan, one man resorted to travelling through the village by canoe .

There are two yellow weather warnings in place for Wales at the moment. These are for Monday and Tuesday and cover most of the country.

On Sunday night, there will be showers in some parts of the country but it should remain dry for other areas including Cardiff.

However, the downpours will begin again on Monday morning and will continue for most of the day.
