Summer rays shine on down

Greater Geelong received a healthy dose of early summer weather at the beginning of this week.

Temperatures pushed just past 30 degrees on Monday and at the Bureau of Meteorology weather station in Breakwater it was 31.9 degrees at 5pm.

And while it was cooler on Tuesday, it was still warm with bright sunshine as the mercury got to 27.6 degrees just before 1pm before a sea breeze dropped the temperature down to the low 20s for the rest of the afternoon.

Maximum temperatures stayed above 20 all week before a return to cooler weather predicted this weekend and anywhere from 2mm to 15mm on Saturday December 9.

Lilian D’Arcy, Lily Tardrew, Makedde Rajic and Tegan Burt (pictured) from Ballarat visited Eastern Beach on Monday and soaked up the rays.
