A red weather warning for coastal overtopping comes into force from 1pm, resulting in the closure of Shore Road, Castletown Promenade, Ramsey Promenade, Tent Road in Laxey and the section between Summerhill Road to Port Jack in Douglas from lunch time.

Kirsty Wilding says while the worst of the rain has now passed, peak winds in the early to middle of the afternoon could reach storm force.
