The River Vyrnwy (or Afon Efyrnwy in Welsh) runs from the Welsh mountains; its sources are from many and varied streams and tributary rivers from around the lake. However, since it was flooded, the river starts at the foot of the dam and flows east towards England, eventually finding its way to Shropshire where it converges with the River Severn near the village of Melverley on the Welsh border. The river runs for 39.7 miles (64 km); the last 8 miles forms a natural boundary between England and Wales. The River Severn then takes its course though England to the Bristol Channel.
The Met Office has a weather observation outpost at Lake Vyrnwy. Updated hourly, it observes the local temperature, wind direction and wind speed, air pressure and visibility.
