After enjoying something of an Indian summer in the last several days it is all change later on Wednesday.

Last week and into the weekend there was plenty of sunshine and temperatures reaching a balmy 20C at times.

While this week has been a little fresher it has remained dry and sunny at times. However, the weather will deteriorate later on Wednesday with heavy rain due to set in and becoming more windy and highs of just 13C although no weather warnings are currently in place.

Ronaldsway Met Office says: ‘It is mostly dry at first, but rain will arrive mid to late afternoon. This will become persistent and quite heavy for evening and overnight as winds increase.’

It will be a wet start on Thursday but it should brighten up later but it will remain breezy and cold with highs of just 13C. Friday will remain cool with 13C highs but it will be mixed with scattered showers and sunny intervals.

The forecast for the weekend doesn’t look too bad with dry, sunny weather and lighter winds. Temperatures will also improve to highs of 15C.
