Tuesday morning will be a mixture of sunny spells and showers. Through the afternoon, a band of rain, heavy at times, will move across the country accompanied by strong winds. Maximum temperature of 13 °C.

The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings in Penarth and across Wales for today as Storm Brendan continues to take a hit.

Penarth may see gusts of up to 44 MPH as part of the coastal gales forecast across Wales.

• Probably some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer

• Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely

• Some short term loss of power and other services is possible

• It's likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities affected by spray and/or large waves

Travel advice:

• Remember to keep both hands on the wheel

• Keep your speed down

• Be ready for stronger winds and gusts on exposed stretches of road or when passing high sided vehicles.

• Take care and leave extra room around cyclists and motorcyclists.

• Keep your distance from other vehicles, especially high sided vehicles and caravans.

• Plan your journey carefully, checking weather and traffic bulletins regularly

• Expect lower speed limits or temporary closures of exposed bridges - especially for high sided vehicles - and road closures due to fallen debris or accidents.
