Weather
The Isle of Man typically enjoys a temperate British climate. In summer the temperature
is cool with clear skies, and the average summer temperature is in the early to
mid twenties centigrade, with the highest possible temperature around 28 degrees.
Nights are around 10 degrees in temperature. June to September is the summer season
with May being the driest and sunniest month of the year.
The island does not suffer with overcast skies as much as other places in the British
Isles due to strong winds which keep the clouds moving. Winters are mild and wet,
and above zero degree centigrade and temperatures tend to average around 9 degrees.
Rainfall varies over the island, the driest parts being in the extreme south and
over the northern plain, the wettest being the hilly interior. Autumn and winter
are the wettest time.
The Isle of Man rarely experiences frost or snow although it sometimes strikes in
late February or early March but much less frequently than in other parts of the
British Isles. The thick sea fog that occasionally smothers the island's lowland
areas is known locally as Manannan's Cloak, a reference to the Island's ancient
Sea God swathing his kingdom in mist to protect it from unwanted visitors.
