Storm Brian coastal over-topping alert

High tide at 1:14pm

Coastal over-topping and high winds - an amber weather warning has been issued by Ronaldsway Met Office, and residents are on alert Island-wide ahead of Storm Brian.

Gale force winds around 70 miles per hour are expected across the British Isles.  

High tide on Island is at 1:14pm today (Sat) - waves are expected to bring seawater and some debris onshore along the coastline.

The worst affected? Fenella and Peel beaches, Port St Mary, Shore Road, Castletown Promenade, Douglas central and north promenades, and in Ramsey.

There's also risk of inner harbour flooding for lower-lying areas around Castletown Harbour, and on Mezeron Corner in Ramsey.

It's suggested anyone with vehicles in the area move them before time.
