According to forecasters at Ronaldsway, the island experienced a mixed bag of weather last week, with sunny spells on Tuesday, April 22, giving way to rain later in the day.
Wednesday remained cloudy early on but cleared to sunshine, and Thursday brought bright or sunny spells across the island.
By Friday, the weather turned cloudier again with a risk of rain, before improving on Saturday as any lingering showers cleared to leave sunny spells behind.
The current settled outlook is expected to continue for several more days, thanks to a high-pressure system keeping wet weather at bay.
