Summary
- Yellow weather warning issued for heavy rain and strong winds
- Sailings between Isle of Man and Heysham at risk of delays or cancellations
- Up to 30mm of rain expected, with flooding and debris on roads
On 2025-11-14T12:33:40+00:00, the Isle of Man is bracing for a bout of severe weather, with a yellow weather warning in place from 17:00 GMT on Friday, November 10th, until 03:00 on Saturday, November 11th. Forecasters predict heavy rainfall, with up to 30mm of rain expected in the worst-affected areas, leading to a risk of surface water flooding and blocked drainage.
In addition to the heavy rain, the island is also set to experience strong to gale-force east-northeast winds, with gusts of 45-55mph. This is likely to cause minor damage in places and bring additional autumn debris onto the roads from trees. The Ronaldsway Met Office has warned that the severe weather could lead to travel delays and pose a risk of minor damage.
The weather warning is expected to impact the island's transport links, with evening and overnight sailings between the Isle of Man and Heysham in Lancashire at risk of being delayed or cancelled.
