Many of us have grown to believe long-term weather patterns are changing.
Summers seem wetter than usual, with the winters milder, and there's a perception the weather is more extreme.
July looked like being the coolest for many years, but a spell of very warm weather right at the end of the period meant temperatures were spot-on the long term average.

Union says no 'authorised offer' has been made in bus pay dispute
Vehicle recovery company called out to Braddan Road eight times
Red weather warning issued for coastal overtopping
Douglas seawall breached
