Amber Warning Issued for Tonight into Tomorrow

Rain will become heavy and persistent tonight and into tomorrow morning, before clearing in the afternoon.

Totals are expected to be between 20-40 mm, with 40-70 mm on the hills, giving a moderate risk of localised flooding.

In addition, large waves will break over exposed coastal locations for an hour or two either side of high tide tomorrow (approx. 11.36 am), leaving debris.

Places exposed to the south will be most at risk, but Laxey and Ramsey proms may also be affected as well as central and northern parts of Douglas prom (including possibly the northern part of the prom parking).

The warning is in force from 3am overnight until 3pm Wednesday afternoon.
