External door no longer sealing against frame

Storm Ciara seems to have done something to my back door as it no longer seals properly against the frame and there is a draught coming through. 

 

I’ve tried adjusting the mechanism to push the door nearer to the frame (see pic) and that has helped to a degree but if I adjust it any further the door doesn’t latch properly and the locking mechanism won’t work. Photo is of the middle section. There are 2 similar adjusters at the top and bottom.

The seal looks ok I think in that it’s not perished anywhere but if I press the door against the frame when it’s closed the door moves in and the seal clearly works because the draught stops. Do they do thicker ones? I reckon it’s a few mm out currently but the effect is massive from a draught perspective. Anything else I can try please?
