Overtopping is set to hit Douglas Bay the hardest

Warnings for coastal overtopping and ice have been issued due to strengthening winds across the Isle of Man.

Ronaldsway Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for waves breaking onto roads around high tide at midnight and again at 12:30 GMT on Friday.

Forecasters said strong winds were set to bring seawater on shore at exposed areas on the east and and south-east, particularly Douglas Promenade.

A yellow warning for ice on the higher ground has also been put in place from midnight until 11:00 on Friday.
