Storm Caroline to disrupt Isle of Man ferry sailings
Strong winds forecast for parts of the British Isles are expected to hit Isle of Man ferry sailings on Thursday.
The Steam Packet company said the Douglas-to-Heysham service at 08:45 GMT and its return at 14:15 are "subject to disruption or cancellation".
The Manx Met Office issued an yellow weather warning as 60mph (97km/h) winds and heavy rain hit the island.
A spokesman said "plummeting temperatures" on the island could also mean "icy roads and wintry showers".
He added: "Scattered wintry showers are likely to arrive later on Thursday, turning heavy at times, with hail or snow over high ground initially but these lowering to sea-level overnight".
The Steam Packet Company said passengers booked on sailings on Thursday and Friday should check with the company's call centre before travelling.
