Sun and showers mark first day of summer

THE first day of summer may not have had us all rooting out bikinis yesterday, but it did allow us to bask in the sunshine. Between the showers and gales of course.

Throughout the country temperatures reached the low to mid-teens, and most places were bright and breezy, with some rainfall.

The South seemed to have enjoyed some of the best of the heat, while the west and east of the country also experienced the warm weather.
