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 expected to affect the Isle of Man on Tuesday from 6am to 9pm.

Weather Details and Forecast

The warning indicates that 20-30mm of rain may fall on lower ground, with up to 50mm possible in hilly areas. Forecaster Adrian Cowin commented:

“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.”

He also noted:

“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 or blocked with autumn debris. River levels will rise quite quickly.”

Short-Term Weather Outlook

Monday: Mostly dry with sunny spells and highs around 13°C.
Tuesday: Heavy rain starting early, strong winds, highs of 14°C.
Wednesday: Drier with some sunshine, though rain may return later.
Thursday: Rain forecast with stronger downpours later, highs of 12°C.
Friday: Intermittent rain with strong winds, highs near 11°C.

The Met Office will continue to monitor the situation closely.

Author's summary: A yellow rain warning signals heavy, persistent rainfall on Tuesday with potential flooding due to saturated ground, followed by unsettled but drier conditions midweek on the Isle of Man.
