This compilation video from across South Wales, showing the severe flooding that has now been declared a major incident. The footage includes scenes from Abergavenny, Skenfrith, and other affected areas where rising water has caused widespread disruption and significant danger to local communities.

An amber weather warning was issued earlier, with 100–150mm of rain expected, and the situation continues to deteriorate rapidly as river levels rise and conditions worsen.

Emergency services, including HM Coastguard, have been seen blocking roads, carrying out evacuations, and preventing additional issues caused by vehicles attempting to drive through floodwater. The response effort is extensive, and teams are doing everything they can to protect residents and property.

A major ongoing incident has now been declared in Monmouth due to the severe and widespread flooding impacting the town and surrounding villages. Rescue teams are actively carrying out evacuations, welfare checks, and moving residents from affected areas to places of safety. Conditions across the region remain extremely challenging, with fast-moving water, blocked routes, and significant pressure on local infrastructure.
