It sure has been windy over the last week. There is also a risk of frost this evening as the temperature is expected to drop to just 4 C.

But, if we can get through the mixed bag of weather on Monday, we will be able to enjoy lots of sunshine for the rest of the week, reaching highs of 27 C and 28 C this weekend.

Time to get out the sunscreen. Can we say summer’s here?
