Met Office issues reassurances to public
Smoke from a moorland fire in the north west of England will be adding to the hazy conditions on the Isle of Man, the Met Office has confirmed.
The four-mile blaze at Saddleworth, outside of Manchester, has led to the distribution of face masks by local councils.
Some 50 homes have been evacuated, and military personnel have been enlisted to assist fire crews.
Despite the light easterly wind, the distance from the fire to the Island will result in dispersal of smoke over the sea.
However, Weatherman David Britton at Ronaldsway said there is nothing to worry about:
Reports of people not listening to marshals on day one of MGP
Arrow returns to service after repairs
A Manx bap and chicken katsu curry included in new school menu
Study finds Isle of Man's clothing offering rates poorly for women
