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 across the Isle of Man on Tuesday, from 6am to 9pm. Residents are advised to be aware, as 20-30mm of rain could fall on lower ground and up to 50mm in hilly areas.
Met Officer forecaster Adrian Cowin said: “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.”
Due to already saturated ground, rapid runoff may cause surface water flooding, especially in areas with poor or blocked drainage caused by autumn debris. River levels are expected to rise quickly.
“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 for the Week
- Monday: Mostly dry with sunny spells and a high of 13°C.
- Tuesday: Heavy rain starting early, strong winds, highs of 14°C.
- Wednesday: Drier with some sunshine; rain possible later.
- Thursday: Rain expected with strong showers later, highs of 12°C.
- Friday: Rain at times with strong winds, highs of 11°C.
The Met Office will continue monitoring the situation as it develops.
Summary: A yellow warning for heavy rain and strong winds is in effect Tuesday, with significant flooding risks due to saturated ground and blocked drainage across the Isle of Man.
