Severe gales and overtopping spark red weather warning

Ronaldsway Met Office has issued its second weather warning of the day - with a risk-to-life warning about coastal overtopping tomorrow.

It runs from 1pm until 4pm on Tuesday, December 9, when forecasters say severe gales will sweep the Island.

Combined with high tide at 2.30pm, that will see what's described as "major volumes of water" washing onto proms in Castletown, Douglas, Laxey and Ramsey as well as Shore Road in Rushen.

The warning says the gales may bring down some trees, and there's also a risk of harbour flooding in some areas.
