Meanwhile, Southern Vectis said: "Roads in Nettlestone, Puckpool and Pondwell are impassable, due to deep flood waters. Route 8 and the Downs Breezer are having to divert from St Helens via Carpenters Road then direct to St John's Church to regain normal route. Diversion will be in both directions.

"Routes 2 and 3 are on diversion between Brading Yarbridge Cross and Ryde Bus Station. Due to the number of road closures our options are very limited."
