However, don't pack away the winter woollies with temperatures returning to August averages early in the working week.
Today's temperature is forecast to reach a sunny top of 24 degrees throughout the Great Lakes after the mercury fell to single figures last night.
Another warm mainly sunny day was predicted for Saturday, August 17 with a top of 21 degrees right across the Great Lakes following overnight lows of 12 along the coast and eight further inland.
Sunday's temperatures will reach a mostly sunny 23 degrees along the coast and a summery 25 degrees further inland.
Overnight temperatures will range from 6-11 degrees.

However, lack of rainfall records continue to fall with just 42.67mm of rain falling over seven days during July, just over half the July monthly average of 84.57mm (1896-2016).
While you're with us:
The driest July was recorded back in 1927 when not a drop of rain fell into the gauge.
The month's top temperature of 25 degrees, recorded in Forster on July 23, was just .5 degrees below the record top (1999-2016) of 25.5 degrees on July 22, 2016.
