Good morning SunLive readers, welcome to Tuesday and another glorious day in this fine city of ours.

Outside it's looking pretty okay, and with the morning cloud expected to clear it should be perfect weather for The Edge Backyard BBQ with Toi Ohomai at Mount Drury and the McDonald's Super Smash Twenty20 cricket match between the Knights and the Aces at Bay Oval both this afternoon.

Kick the afternoon off the right way with The Edge Backyard BBQ with Toi Ohomai which is taking place at Mount Drury in Mount Maunganui, from 1pm-4pm.

Part of Tauranga City Council's summer programme, there'll be a ton of fun on offer during the free barbeque today including entertainment for all the family, music, giveaways and prizes plus a lot more.

And keep an eye out for the Summer Ambassadors who'll be out and about and ready to provide you with the latest information on events, competitions, giveaways; and helpful tips and information on how to stay safe in the summer season.
