Met men at Ronaldsway Airport say July was the sunniest the Isle of Man has seen for almost 60 years.
The Met Office says temperatures topped 20°C on 15 days, while there were 291 hours of bright sunshine
That made it the second sunniest on record, only beaten by 1955.
It was also dry as well as hot and sunny – with only half the usual amount of rain falling over the course of the month, and almost half of that fell on the final day of the month.
