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

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

Travel advice:

• 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.

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