A MUCH cooler day than of late, today could start with some thundery downpours in areas.

A damp start for some elsewhere, but it will gradually turn brighter across the region with some sunny spells possible later in the afternoon.

Temperatures will reach highs today of 23C.

There will be clear spells for some overnight, particularly at first, turning coolers overnight as skies cloud over towards dawn and temperatures fall to as low as 13C.
