Travel disruption and power cuts after back-to-back storms

Hundreds of homes were left without power on Sunday morning after back-to-back storms led to flooding and felled trees in Wales.

A wind gust of 84mph (135km/h) was recorded in Capel Curig, Conwy county, on Saturday, which also saw 2.1in (54.6mm) of rain.

Police forces and councils said they have been dealing with flooding and trees down as Storm Boelo followed Storm Austen over the weekend, while there is also significant disruption on Wales' railways.

One flood warning was in place in Wales on Sunday afternoon, at Ely Bridge in Cardiff, while there were 14 flood alerts. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said river levels were expected to fall.

There were reports of power cuts across much of Wales, with SP Energy dealing with 16 incidents in north and mid Wales - five on Anglesey. In south and west Wales, National Grid was dealing with a number of incidents, including in Ceredigion where more than 150 homes were without power.

The National Grid said its engineers were working to restore power to the affected households "as quickly as possible" and apologised for the disruption.

Most of Wales was not covered by a weather warning during Storm Boelo, although a yellow warning for wind covers parts of north Wales until 21:00 GMT on Sunday.

A total of 2.2in (55.2mm) of rain was also recorded in Bute Park in Cardiff throughout Saturday.

Buses are running instead of a number of Transport for Wales (TfW) train services due to flooding and poor weather.

A TfW spokesperson said incidents included the line being blocked between Cardiff Central and Bridgend and flooding on the railway between Bridgend and Maesteg.

Rhondda Cynon Taf council said it had been dealing with numerous reports of trees down.

NRW had four flood warnings for the River Ely in place at 09:20.

Cowbridge Road in Ely, Cardiff, was closed due to high water levels but reopened at 12:00, the council said.

In Pembrokeshire, stranded seals have been seen sheltering under cars in the coastal village of Broad Haven.

A video posted on social media by Haven Sports Surf Shop shows a seal on the pavement at the side of road near to the beach and says "please be aware of washed up seals around Broad Haven this morning".

"We have seen multiple seals taking shelter underneath parked cars along the sea front," they added.

Stenaline has cancelled the 10:00 sailing from Holyhead to Dublin and said other services might be delayed because of the weather conditions.

Irish Ferries has announced it had also cancelled two sailings between Holyhead and Dublin today, adding services this afternoon might leave early.

The Pembroke to Rosslare ferry was also cancelled, with later sailings due to continue.

In north Wales, police have warned drivers of a significant amount of debris and fallen trees on the A470 between the Black Cat Roundabout and Llanrwst, Conwy county.

They urged people to "please take care when driving in this area".

Videos on social media showed cars trying drive down waterlogged roads as rain poured down drenched pavements.

NRW urged people hit by flooding to go to a safe place, saying: "You might have to leave your home if it is safe to do so."

On Saturday, staff at the Tafell a Tân cafe in Llangrannog, Ceredigion, praised the community for stepping in to help with a clean-up operation in the aftermath of Storm Austen.

The venue was forced to close for the day on Friday due to a sandstorm brought by Storm Austen.

Posting on social media, they said: "How lucky are we... Llangrannog at its absolute finest, thank you great people."
