Storm Darragh: Wind causes thousands of power cuts in Wales

Mobile phones made a loud siren-like sound even if set to silent. The sound and vibration lasted about 10 seconds.

It was the largest use of the warning system outside a test scenario – the last test being in April 2023.

An amber warning for rain has been in force since 03:00 and will remain until 18:00 on Saturday.

Up to 3.5in (90mm) could fall across 14 counties in south and mid Wales.

There is also an amber warning for wind covering Wales from 01:00 to 21:00 and a yellow rain warning until noon.

The last red warning in Wales came during Storm Eunice in 2022, which left tens of thousands without power.

The red wind warning covers Bridgend, Cardiff, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Conwy, Gwynedd, Anglesey, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, Pembrokeshire, Swansea and Vale of Glamorgan.
