You have an entire Sunday to yourselves today, Sunners, and MetService is forecasting a day filled with sunshine.

With weather like this, you could always venture out and soak up the sun on the best beach New Zealand has to offer - right in our backyard! Just make sure you put your sunscreen on.

Or if the beach isn't your thing, pack a blanket and a picnic and watch the Blackcaps take on Bangladesh at the Bay Oval this afternoon, or you could just sit in the garden with a cold one and a good book – the day is yours!
