WEATHER - Another week and another storm is coming in on the back of storm Ciara. This time its Dennis who is the menace, very high winds, driving rain, snow medium to low temperatures. The whole of the South wales area will be under siege again from this new storm system. The worst of the weather will be on the weekend with winds up to 50 mph South Westerlies and generally through the week the winds will be over 30 mph and from the South Westerly direction. Need to be very careful driving and there will be a lot of debris in the area due to the excessive high winds. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2648385?day=2) (https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcjqmsw80
RIVER LEVEL and TEMPERATURE - 0.82 meters high and 6 Degrees (http://rloi.naturalresources.wales/ViewDetails?station=4121)
EXPECTED RIVER LEVEL OVER NEXT 72 HOURS - 0.82 -meters - 1.5 meters
GORGE WALKING, GORGE SCRAMBLING, CANYONING CONDITIONS REPORT 13.02.202 - Gorge Walking, Gorge Scrambling and Canyoning are all looking under threat this week. The rivers are already high at .82 meters so there will be no Canyoning through the whole of the week. The rain is predicted to be constant and hard every day especially on Saturday when heavy rain is predicted. As the rivers get to the 1.5 meter level on the Mellte River the events will be strictly swift water and need expert supervision and guidance. Most parts of the river will be totally inaccessible but certain parts may be accessible for river rapid challenges. This will need high caution and high expertise on all levels. The main view is to stay out of the rivers and take your camera and take pictures of the rivers and waterfalls in full flow. Its truly amazing.
