Today, we reluctantly welcomed autumn with a stormy day in Sydney – and thought that there would be no better way to farewell summer than by admiring Sports Illustrated Swimsuit babes lying on the beach under cloudless skies.

Alongside cover girl Kate Upton, Sports Illustrated welcomed world-class babes like Kelly Gale and Chrissy Teigen for their highly-anticipated Swimsuit edition. Basically, these shoots involve swimsuits (duh) worn by very beautiful people in sun-soaked locations you’d visit on vacation. And while the thermometer may have hit record-breaking temperatures this Australian summer, prepare for it to get even hotter below.

Scroll down for our faves, reminisce on the summer that’s just past and see all the SI Swimsuit models for 2017 right here:
