Morning Sunners and welcome to an action packed Sunday.

Today's weather isn't too shabby with a high of 16 degrees and 5 degrees overnight. MetService say it will be a partly cloudy day with a few afternoon showers and westerlies.

If you think you're tough braving the cold though, think again. Several members of the public will be ‘freezin' for a reason'.

The fourth annual Papamoa Polar Plunge will be taking place today, with local organisation Ocean Blue Health and Fitness putting up $1000 cash for the winner to donate to a Tauranga non-profit group of their choice.

Men, women, and children of all ages will brave the freezing temperatures from 11am-1pm at Papamoa Beach.

Event manager Kate Percy from Papamoa Unlimited says the Polar Plunge is a great opportunity for people to come together in the spirit of giving back to the community.

'While the money will certainly make a difference for the winners, the real value is in the spirit that is conjured as a result of such teamwork,” says Kate.

Schools, sports clubs, community organisations, individuals and businesses are invited to join forces in pursuit of the prize money.

If you want to be amazed, dazzled and falling to your seat with laughter- the circus is in down!

Zirka Circus, New Zealand's premium circus, is proud to bring you its 5th tour La Unica.

Zirka Circus has successfully been entertaining families in NZ for more than ten years and this all new show takes it to a whole new level of entertainment.
