County council issues advice after yellow weather warning

Following on from the yellow weather warning issued for this area today (Saturday) Denbighshire County Council has issued further information for the public.  

The information says there will be a thunderstorm between 2 and 9pm, with a few heavy showers and thunderstorms possible, perhaps leading to some disruption, and it adds:

"What to expect

• Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures 

•  Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services

• There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost

•  There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds."

The county says it has additional resources on standby throughout the warning period to respond to any flooding related incidents should they arise.

Further updates will be provided if deemed necessary.

In the event of any emergency situation requiring an immediate response, contact should be made directly via the out of hours contact centre between 5pm – 8:30am including weekends on 0300 123 3068.
