Isle of Man Met Office Issues Yellow Weather Warning for Heavy Rain
The Ronaldsway Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain, expected to affect the island on Tuesday from 6 am to 9 pm. The warning indicates rainfall of 20-30mm on lower ground, increasing to about 50mm in the hills.
“Generally wet and windy on Tuesday with strengthening south to southeast winds bringing prolonged periods of often heavy rain. Rainfall totals look to be 20 to 30mm widely but up to about 50mm over the hills,” said Met Officer forecaster Adrian Cowin.
“Given the already saturated ground, there'll be a quick runoff of the rain to give areas of surface water flooding especially in prone places and in locations where drainage is already poor/blocked or becomes blocked with autumn debris. River levels will rise quite quickly.”
Weather Outlook
- Monday: Mostly dry with sunny spells and highs of 13°C.
- Tuesday: Heavy rain from early morning with strong winds; highs around 14°C.
- Wednesday: Drier with some sunshine, but rain possible later in the day.
- Thursday: Rain expected with strong showers later; highs near 12°C.
- Friday: Occasional rain with strong winds; highs around 11°C.
The Met Office will continue to monitor the situation closely as the conditions develop.
Summary: The Isle of Man faces heavy rain and strong winds on Tuesday with a yellow warning in effect, raising flood risks due to saturated ground and blocked drainage.
