Storm Debi: 77mph Aberdaron gusts after Wales wind warning

Gusts of up to 77mph (124km/h) have been recorded in Wales after a weather warning for Monday across north, mid and west Wales.

The Met Office had warned that Storm Debi might cause problems as it moved westerly from the Irish Sea coast.

By Monday evening 10 flood alerts were in place, down from 24, said Natural Resources Wales.

The highest gusts of 77mph were recorded at Aberdaron on the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd.

A yellow weather warning for wind was in place until 18:00 GMT on Monday.

High winds affected roads with a lane closure and reduced speed limits in place in both directions on the M48 Severn Bridge and the A477 Cleddau Bridge in Pembrokeshire closed to high sided vehicles.

Ferries between Wales and Ireland were mostly operating as normal but sailings between Fishguard and Rosslare were cancelled on Monday.

The warning covered Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Wrexham, Powys, Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire.

In the past few weeks, Storms Babet and Ciaran have caused flooding in several Welsh communities.
