How is climate change on the Isle Of Man impacting life?

Extreme changes in weather patterns could become the norm for the Isle of Man, an island meteorologist has said.

Weather patterns, bringing excessive heat and rainfall to the island, has had a knock-on effect on fisheries and crop and livestock farmers, Gary Salisbury, forecaster at the Ronaldsway Met Office said.

His comments come after the weather watcher’s 2025 report, which stated the island saw its warmest spring and summer since records began in 1947, the driest March for over 70 years and one of the wettest autumns on average for 30 years.

Salisbury said the Isle of Man was “very vulnerable” to weather changes, because “all our travel [in and out of the island] is by sea and air”.
