Yellow Weather Warning issued for coastal overtopping

Strong winds to bring sea water and debris onto coastal roads and promenades

A Yellow Weather Warning has been issued for coastal overtopping from midnight until 4am. (26 August)

The Ronaldsway Met Office says fresh to strong south to south-westerly winds coupled with high spring tides will lead to sea water and debris crashing over onto exposed coastal roads and promenades.

This is expected for a couple of hours around the time of high tide at around 1:49am.

The areas most at risk are Shore Road Rushen, Castletown Promenade, the northern end of Douglas Promenade, and to a lesser extent Laxey and Ramsey Promenades.
