Thursday, 4 July 2013 00:00

With thousands of revellers expected in St John’s tomorrow morning to celebrate Tynwald Day the MET Office has delivered some good news.

The national day will begin with the traditional ceremony around Tynwald Hill at 11.00am, after this has concluded there will be the usual mix of entertainment throughout the rest of the day.

In stark contrast to last year it’s looking like a day of warm temperatures and sunshine.

Forecaster Kirst Pendlebury says there will be warm sunny conditions throughout the day, with highs of 20 celsius:
