New weather warning system ready for launch

The Met Office will launch a new weather warning system from January.

The Isle of Man Meteorological Office will use the new system from Wednesday, January 3, replacing the current colour-coded warnings.

It's hoped the changes will mean more accurate forecasts, especially during extreme events such as heavy rain, flooding or snow.

Meteorologists say there'll be a new 'weather watch warning' which can be issued a few days before bad weather conditions hit.
