Sweeping gales for Wales
A change in the month has certainly brought a change in the weather, with heavy rain and gales sweeping across Wales yesterday.
25 to 50 mm of rain fell in a number of places with flooding in parts of South and West Wales. Mumbles near Swansea was one of the windiest spots with a gust of wind of 76 mph recorded.
Here are some photos from Sunday's flooding that Mike Davies from Neath sent in.
Flooding at Cadoxton road in Neath on Sunday:
A manhole cover overflowing in Aberdulais:
It's also turned noticeably cooler. This time last week, it was warm enough to be in a t-shirt with temperatures hitting 17 Celsius but today there's a distinct chill in the air with 10 Celsius being nearer the mark.
Over the next few days, its going to stay very much on the cool side with further showers or longer spells of rain at times.
So it was nice while it lasted but I'm afraid our taste of an Indian Summer has been blown away and it's now time to dig out the warm clothes and umbrella.
Email me with your extreme weather photos and I'll feature the best ones either here in the blog or on telly during my weather bulletins.
