Mark DonaldsonEastern Reporter

ENJOY today’s cooler weather while it lasts because it appears we’re in for a pair of bitumen cookers as summer begins this weekend.

We’re headed for a cloudy 23C today with southerly 15-20km/h winds switching south westerly and increasing to 20-30km/h in the middle of the day.

The mild-mannered weather is expected to get a little hot headed later in the week though.
