Howard Quayle says the predictions were frightening:
Island experiences driest July on record
Only 2mm of rain fell last month
Evening Mountain Road closures ahead of Classic TT & MGP
DoI to take on essential maintenance works
Census officers to make home visits to households yet to complete the form
91 percent of householders have submitted their form to date
