Natural Resources Wales warnings FloodRadar holds for this area:

Live entries are timed by our 15-minute check (UK time), not the moment NRW issued or lifted them.

FloodRadar’s record of flood warnings for Welsh areas starts on 15 February 2006. Anything earlier is a gap in what we have banked, not a statement that this area has not flooded — it may well have. Natural Resources Wales publishes Welsh flooding information at naturalresources.wales.
