WITH towns and villages across south Wales still reeling from the affects of Storm Dennis, the Met Office has issued yet another weather warning.
A yellow warning is in force from today until 2pm tomorrow.
It means there is likely to be very heavy rain and even more flooding.
The warning comes as houses, roads and fields in Monmouth are still underwater after the River Wye burst its banks on Monday night.
Two severe ‘danger to life’ flood alerts were issued then and there are still four flood alerts in place for south Wales from Natural Resources Wales.
Here are all the flood warnings in south east Wales still in place:
River Wye, Monmouth, Mayhill

While work is ongoing to get the works up and running again, they are pumping water into the system and supplies.

South Wales Fire and Rescue have issued the following advice:
- Don’t get too close to floodwater, it can be deeper and more powerful than it looks
- There may be hidden rubbish or debris, open drains, shopping trolleys, broken glass and branches.
