TL;DR: welcome to the useful bits

Too long; didn't read? Start here, then dive into the stories that matter.

• Today’s issue is not really about the weather. It is about a TT schedule being negotiated with the sky, a reminder that fast roads still come with court-sized consequences and clean-air data that deserves more than a shrug.
• 40 local news items from IoM Today, 3FM, Manx Radio are filtered for practical consequences, not headline noise.
• 60 public-record items sit behind the headlines, which means the quieter paperwork may be where tomorrow’s row, decision or awkward question starts.
• 97 event listings add the diary test: before anyone sets off, check the venue, the timing and whether the Island has moved the goalposts again.
• The mix is 19 island news items, 4 sport items, 3 politics items. In plain English: read today for what changes plans, decisions or questions.

• Watch whether weather and TT contingency plans keep changing during the day.
• Watch which public-body item turns into a decision, deadline or response.
• Watch which events need checking before people travel or share them.

• Claire Christian gave figures in response to a Tynwald question for written reply from Douglas East MHK Joney Faragher.
