The Isle of Man has a [[temperate]] [[oceanic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cfb''). Average rainfall is higher than averaged over the territory of the British Isles, because the Isle of Man is far enough from Ireland for the prevailing south-westerly winds to accumulate moisture. Average rainfall is highest at [[Snaefell]], where it is around {{convert|1900|mm}} a year. At lower levels it can be around {{convert|800|mm}} a year. In drier spots, the Isle of Man is sunnier than either Ireland or the majority of England at 1,651 hours per year at the official [[Ronaldsway]] station.<ref name=RonaldswayMetOffice>{{cite web |url=https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/maps-and-data/uk-climate-averages/gcsewtg52 |title=Ronaldsway (Isle of Man) UK climate averages |publisher=[[UK Met Office]] |access-date=15 January 2022 |archive-date=19 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211219043222/https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/maps-and-data/uk-climate-averages/gcsewtg52 |url-status=live}}</ref> The highest recorded temperature was {{convert|28.9|C|F}} in Ronaldsway on 12 July 1983. Due to the moderate surface temperatures of the Irish Sea, the island does not receive bursts of heat that sometimes can hit Northern England. The stable water temperature also means that [[air frost]] is rare, averaging just ten occasions per year.<ref name=RonaldswayMetOffice/>

On 10 May 2019 Chief Minister Howard Quayle stated that the [[Isle of Man Government]] recognises that a [[state of emergency]] exists due to the threat of anthropogenic [[climate change]].<ref>{{cite web |date=10 May 2019 |title=This is a climate change emergency |url=http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=48378&headline=This%20is%20a%20climate%20change%20emergency§ionIs=NEWS&searchyear=2019 |access-date=15 August 2019 |website=In the Manx Independent this week |archive-date=16 September 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210916232136/http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=48378&headline=This%20is%20a%20climate%20change%20emergency%C2%A7ionIs=NEWS&searchyear=2019 |url-status=live}}</ref>
