Today we have a fine start. Cloudy in the evening, with light winds.

It's a three-clothing-layer day with a high of 15 and an overnight low of 8 degrees predicted.

Today in world history in 1859 the French daredevil Emile Blondin became the first man to cross Niagara Falls on a tightrope.

Not quite as daring but we take you to the top of the Tauranga harbour bridge this morning to see the sun rise over the Bay.

Have a great day.
