Hello,
We're in double digits today, but you may not know it in this overcast misery. It was 10 degrees in the city this morning, although it felt more like 8 degrees with the "wind chill factor", and even less for those who donned the Lycra and pedalled their way to work.
Pack the brolly today, because showers will roll through the city, intermittently throughout the day. These folks have the right idea ...

There will be some patches of blue sky about, the weather bureau tells us. Don't despair, however, conditions are clearing for the rest of week and we're set for a run of clear, fine days from Wednesday. The mercury might even nudge 20 degrees, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
