North Wales multi-agency responders continue to work in partnership to protect communities as #StormDarragh has brought severe weather overnight.

Although the Red Warning for high winds has now ended, an Amber Warning remains in place until 21.00hrs, meaning severe weather conditions are expected to continue.

There is widespread surface water and localised flooding, with numerous road closures across the region—including trunk roads and smaller routes. Fallen trees and debris are adding to the disruption.

Superintendent Owain Llewellyn said:
“Public safety continues to be our priority. Responders are experiencing significant demand, so please avoid unnecessary travel and follow official advice.

“We strongly urge all drivers to avoid attempting to drive through any floodwater. Stranded vehicles not only divert vital emergency resources away from critical incidents but can also worsen flooding in nearby properties, causing unnecessary damage and risk.

“I am grateful to residents and our multi-agency colleagues across the region for their cooperation and tireless efforts during this challenging time.”
