Difficult conditions are expected for holiday traffic on Friday, with drivers being warned to watch out for fallen trees affecting some roads and railway lines.

High-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges will also probably see delays.

The weather warning does not cover the area where Green Man Festival, held near Crickhowell, kicks off on Thursday, but rain is forecast throughout Friday.
