A yellow weather warning will come into force early tomorrow morning with gusts of up to 50mph forecast.
The warning will be in place from 6am Monday until 6am on Tuesday.
South-southwest winds will strengthen overnight tonight into Monday, before veering westerly early afternoon then gradually easing overnight into Tuesday.
Gusts of between 40 and 50 miles per hour are likely.
The Met Office said that “while this is not unusual for the Isle of Man, it is unseasonably strong and some damage is likely particularly to trees as they are still in full leaf”.
Any lightweight summer structures (tents etc) could also be damaged.
A spell of rain is expected on Monday morning, heavy for a time, but this is not expected to cause any significant issues.
The Steam Packet has already brought forward two sailings, with decisions due early on Monday morning.
