The emergency services are asking motorists to stay at home for the time being unless your journey is absolutely necessary.

The Met Office says localised flooding is likely and the rain is set to continue until at least this afternoon.

A number of bus services are also affected by flooding. MER services between Laxey and Ramsey remain in operation but flooding at Groudle means services to Douglas are off. Steam Train bus replacements services have also been suspended.
