The Ronaldsway Met Office says the weather is looking good for start of the Manx Grand Prix.
A spokesperson said conditions are looking dry and settled and fairly warm from the early to middle of next week.
However, it becomes more difficult for forecasters to confidently predict further ahead than this.
Wet weather conditions caused a number of race cancellations during last year's event - qualifying sessions for this year start on Sunday, August 17.
