They were supposed to be enjoying  a well-earned break and perhaps  hoping to catch some early summer sunshine. But instead, hundreds of holidaymakers had to be rescued by the emergency services from a June monsoon yesterday.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb6 d, k- U) _5 K' Z

At least 150 people were evacuated from holiday caravans and homes as the heavens opened.

The freak floods cut off villages and roads in Ceredigion, Mid-Wales, swamping holiday parks and residential streets and leaving some people trapped in upstairs rooms.

Paul Mott, senior forecaster with MeteoGroup, said in the 24 hours to 7am yesterday even more - an incredible 150mm (or 6in) - fell in the hills of central and eastern Ceredigion.

'That's what's caused the problem, all the rainwater has funnelled into the rivers, causing flooding in river valleys,' he said.

Royal Air Force Sea King helicopters, inshore life boats and fire service rescue boats were called to the Riverside Caravan Park in Llandre, Bow Street, near Aberystwyth, one of the most severely-affected sites where 'numerous people' needed help.

Fire chiefs said that the tide had peaked in some areas of Wales by yesterday afternoon. RNLI flood response manager Robin Goodlad said: ‘The rescue team have plenty of experience at dropping things at a moment’s notice to go out on  rescues. But the scale and speed at which it has come together has been fantastic.’

Chief Inspector Robin Mason of Dyfed-Powys Police said that the numbers of those rescued would ‘probably run into the hundreds’ by the time that the full scale of the flooding had become clearer.
