The Isle of Man Met Office says July has been warm, though not close to the extreme temperatures seen elsewhere in the British Isles, with the island falling just short of a notable warm‑weather streak this week.
Forecasters report a monthly average of 18.2°C, with the highest July day so far reaching 28.1°C.
They say using a 30°C benchmark that has been see in the UK “wouldn’t be possible”, as the island simply hasn’t reached those levels, and only three days this month have hit 25°C, all between July 10 to 12.
A run of 20°C‑plus days has been more consistent, but still modest. Today marks the fifth day this month to reach 20°C or higher.
The sequence was broken on July 9, when temperatures peaked at 18.4°C, otherwise this weekend would have marked the island’s tenth consecutive warm day.
Based on current forecasts, the Met Office expects the 20°C streak to resume and extend by Monday. The last time the island recorded a long warm spell, 14 consecutive days above 20°C, was 2021.
