The heavy rain from last night that has affected many Island roads today is set to continue.
The Met Office have just issued a severe weather warning for more rain on the Isle of Wight and the Environment Agency have issued a ‘flood warning’ at Langbrige/Alverstone and Monktonmead Brook, Ryde and a ‘flood alert’ is in force for Gurnard Luck and the Eastern Yar.
Some of the Island roads that were reported as being affected by flooding have now been declared un-passable, with diversions in place.
All football matches on council football pitches have been cancelled this weekend due to waterlogged conditions.
The heavy rain is expected to continue until around 24pm today. We’ll let you know any if other updates come through.
