Changes have been made to ferry sailings between the Isle of Man and Liverpool and Lancashire due to heavy rain and strong winds.

The morning sailing of the Manxman from Douglas to Heysham and its afternoon return were brought forward by an hour.

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company said the morning sailings of the fast craft Manannan to and from Liverpool would go ahead as scheduled.

However, its afternoon trip to Liverpool has been brought forward by 30 minutes to 15:00 BST, while the departure of its return leg has been pushed back by an hour to 21:30.

Ronaldsway Met Office said rain due in the afternoon would turn "persistent and quite heavy", with strengthening winds "possibly touching gale force in places" later.
