It's a wet, gloomy day in Wellington, and it's forecast to get worse.
Flights in and out of Wellington have been cancelled due to ex-Cyclone Gita.
High winds are predicted to strike around 7pm Tuesday, with winds up to 130kmh. Fortunately the rain is forecast to ease from midday.

It always pays to be prepared - Cyclone Gita is forecast to hit New Zealand Tuesday evening. Prepare now by clearing stormwater grates near your place and tie down outdoor furniture, bins and trampolines. If we get big winds, simple steps like these help keep the damage down. Stay safe!
Look out for the privately owned van that hit the back of my car on the way to work in Petone. The driver has no insurance & the business owner has yet to come forward !
Thanks to the 2600 of you who completed our Sunday Star-Times/Neighbourly poll on NZ's changing attitudes to meat and veges. We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.

We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals our most loyal meat-eaters are in farming provinces like Southland, Manawatu-Wanganui and Taranaki, where nearly two-thirds of us eat meat most days. By comparison, fewer than half of respondents in Wellington, Auckland and Northland eat that much meat. More than a third of Aucklanders and Cantabrians say they are reducing their meat consumption; another 13 per cent have already cut it from their diets entirely.
>> So here's a question: should city-dwellers be supporting our farmers better, given they're still the backbone of our economy? Or do farmers and the rest of us need to be working together to find new solutions - new premium meats, new meat alternatives - to reflect reducing meat consumption around the world?
