A WEATHER warning for strong winds of up to 60mph remians in place until this afternoon.
The country was battered by Storm Gareth which brought both heavy rain and severe gales yesterday and in the early hours of this morning.
The storm, which was caused by a deep area of low pressure, brought misery to motorists right across Gwent who suffered long delays.
But the yellow weather warning will run until 3pm today.
