While the roads and surrounding fields have seen heavy flooding, there is no threat of property flooding at the minute.

Natural Resources Wales said: "Extensive areas of low lying and agricultural land in the Lower Dee floodplain are likely to be affected, with the possibility of localised travel restrictions.

"Property flooding in Bangor on Dee is not expected at this time, although some localised flooding problems may result from surface water."

Local onlookers had said that the current levels were not the worst they'd seen.

"Yes it's pretty high and thankfully the rain has stopped now otherwise we would be in trouble. Hopefully we've seen the worst of it now and it can gradually come down now.

"While it is high, it's not the worst I've seen, it's been higher a few times here so it should be okay."
