Weatherproofing external wooden door

The back door has a large gap that lets rain in at the bottom whenever the easterly is blowing. I have a door sweep but it is not effective. I’d like a solution that keeps the rain out - Eg I’ve seen weather strips that require the door be taken off. But I’m open to options and advice. If possible I would also like advice on draught stopping a window that has a strong draught - I tried to use a strip but couldn’t close the window. (The window is sticky anyway). I wonder if it needs shaving down a little? Looking for an effective solution to this as well if possible.
