GOLD Coasters made the most of the sunshine yesterday ahead of the gloomy weather predicted for the city from today.

Weatherzone metrologist Drew Casper-Richardson said a fairly wet week looked likely.

“There’s a chance of showers pretty much every day,” he said.

“Most days there will probably only be a few millimetres but potentially it will be getting wetter later in the week.”
