Forecasters say there will be a bit of morning cloud in the capital, followed by fine weather with a possible high of 19 degrees, while northerlies that will pick up later in the day.

The wind is set to really whip up on Sunday night, however that night's gay events in the capital are both indoors; the Carmen memorial at S&M's and the Glitter dance party at the Opera House later that night.

On Monday showers are forecast, so it will be a great day to relax and recover indoors.
