The last gasp of summer has departed as last week's heatwave has been replaced by wet and cloudy conditions across the country.
After temperatures hit the high 20s during the second half of last week, Monday saw the resumption of regular programming with overcast skies and patchy rain and drizzle.
The last of four yellow thunderstorm alerts issued for much of the country over the weekend expired at midnight.
