It’s going to be wet.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping.

The forecast:

Persistent and often heavy rain will continue to affect the island this morning before gradually dying away this afternoon.

It will become windy once more as the fresh southeast wind quickly turns to the west or southwest and increases strong to gale force by midday with gusts of 40-50mph likely for a time.

This brings a risk of sea water and debris splashing over onto exposed coastal roads and promenades around the time of high tide (12:51pm). Maximum temperature around 9°C.

This evening & tonight will be mostly dry with just a slight risk of a shower. The strong west to northwest wind will gradually fall light to moderate with lowest temperature near to 3°C.

Tomorrow will be bright with sunny spells and a few scattered showers. The light westerly wind will veer to the northeast later in the day with highs of 6 or possibly 7°C.

Dry and bright on Saturday with lengthy sunny intervals.

Breezy though with a fresh to strong north-easterly wind, making it feel quite cold with temperatures only reaching up to 5 or 6°C at best.

The winds will gradually fall light overnight allowing a frost to develop.
