Motorists warned about hazardous waves along roads

Forecasters said strong winds coupled with high water could see dangerous waves crashing ashore

Motorists have been warned of waves crashing on to roads around high tide.

Ronaldsway Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for "coastal overtopping" between 19:35 and 23:35 GMT.

Forecasters said strong winds coupled with high water would create some large waves close to exposed roads and promenades.

Areas more at risk were Shore Road in Rushen, Castletown Promenade, and the northern end of Douglas Promenade, with some issues also possible on Laxey and Ramsey promenades.

A yellow weather warning had been in place for similar conditions either side of the morning's high tide until 11:15.

Gusts of up to 50mph (80km/h) are expected to hit the island during the daytime, with heavy rain moving in overnight into Tuesday.
