The warning comes from a leading councillor as heavy rain causes flooding and disruption.

On Thursday, homes lost power, people were rescued from cars and properties were damaged after persistent rain.

"Climate change is happening and we're seeing floods more frequently. But in particular, the intensity of the weather is really changing."Although Rhondda Cynon Taf was one of the worst hit areas, much of Wales experienced heavy rain. Mr Morgan said pre-emptive investment was "vital", adding: "What we don't want to do is be sending crews to clean up the mess.

"We had the biggest floods we've ever experienced during 2020. 2022 has been the hottest year on record and it was also the biggest drought in Wales," Mr Evans said. The WLGA said the past decade had seen "unprecedented weather extremes" which had put "enormous strain on our communities, services, and infrastructure".

"It is important to note that keeping pace with climate change would require huge amount of funding which in itself is not sustainable.
