In Flintshire, the River Dee running through Shotton, Connah's Quay and Flint have all been affected.

The risk of flooding is a result of the combination of the high tides and weather conditions from Sunday morning (October 20) into the early hours of Monday morning. A yellow warning alert was issued by the Met Office affecting parts of north Wales over the weekend, with Storm Ashley hitting the UK.

A spokesperson said: "Be careful on beaches, promenades, coastal footpaths, roads, low lying land, close to the estuary. We will continue to monitor the situation."
